MAPS – Existing Research & Context
•Persons with cognitively impairments are often unable to live on their own because of inability to consistently do normal domestic tasks like
• Cooking
• Taking medications
• Using public transportation
•Prompting techniques used as tools
• For learning (adapt yourself)
• For living (adapt your environment)

MAPS – Existing Research & Context - 2
Existing prompting systems and studies of prompting & assistive technology design:
•Hand’ prompting systems – Adams 12 transition team and many others
• Computationally based tools:• Stationary computer based prompting systems such as Picture Coach and it’s spin-offs• PDA based prompting tools and general assistants – Ablelink and Isaac• Existing tools may work but are difficult to configure and maintain
• Prompting studies • Assistive technology design guide by Thomas King and AAC text by Beukelman & Mirenda

MAPS – Goals and L3D Challenge
• Adoption / Abandonment hurdle• Avoiding:
•I’ve got a theory•I’ve got a cousin
• MAPS three foci• Precision• Repair / Tracking • Persistence / Sharing
• What can L3D bring to table• Working with symmetry of ignorance• Community / cooperative design• Focus on users not artifact

MAPS – Design Points• PDA – portable & multifunction•Database – used across CLever projects•Wireless – extendable but ….
•Panic – levels
• When system guesses you are off track• When you are lost• When system fails
•Context / Dynamic (bus coming)
•Scripts – persistent and shareable•Logging –
• Adaptive (short term & panic)
• Research (long term studies)

MAPS – Integration with CLever
•CLever Database initiativeOne shared schema so we can all talk & easily cooperate
•Mobility for AllUser platform
• PITABoardFront end for Mobility for All trip Scripts
• Lifeline Monitoring systemIntegrate the pieces with respect to institutional caregivers

MAPS – Recent & Current Work
• Collaborative data schema design• Scenarios and Abstractions• The central notion of error trapping and recovery
• Panic collection research & design• Scenarios• Existing literature search• Simple connection testing• Develop structure of levels
• Human testing with simple scripts
• Wireless prototypes (PitaBoard, Pebbles etc.)
• Continued collaboration (BVSD, Imagine! (DDC), Mobility for All, PITABoard, Abletech, Memory project…. Etc.)
