(The following are questions intended as jump-off points for discussion during the meeting)
 
*Rewrite using current GTK and OpenCV APIs?
 
*Small, single-purpose module that enables the user to use *other* applications (including assistive applications), or application that encompasses multiple features?
 
*Focus on forehead, or scrap and use OpenCV's newest haars APIs (related to #1)?
 
*How to account for spasticity -- should this be a priority or worked on down the road?
 
*There are a number of features in Mousetrap that never worked in the first place, but intended for future development (finger-tracking, plug-in architecture), should those be preserved, or scrapped? (related to #2)
 
*Priority: to fix, or to introduce something that works?
 
*Interface -- should it be simple, or full-featured? Should it simply be a program that moves the mouse with head movements, and leave the other features to other applications (Dasher and built-in on-screen keyboard and so forth)?
 
*"Personas" and HCI -- to be discussed (different people with differing needs/disabilities) -- should we account for this, or try to design for a "wider audience" and work on more specific cases later?

Questions for A11y Community

  • Do we need to implement focus on forehead or elsehwere? What parts of the body (pen??) should MouseTrap track?
  • How to account for spasticity -- should this be a priority or worked on down the road?
  • There are a number of features in Mousetrap that never worked in the first place, but intended for future development (finger-tracking, plug-in architecture), should those be preserved, or scrapped?
  • Interface -- should it be simple, or full-featured? Should it simply be a program that moves the mouse with head movements, and leave the other features to other applications (Dasher and built-in on-screen keyboard and so forth)?
  • How is MouseTrap included in GNOME 3? Is there an “Accessibility Suite”?
  • Does MouseTrap need to interact with any other applications? For instance, does it need to throw events for Orca?
  • Is there a specific group of users with disabilities for which MouseTrap is intended?
  • How much movement of the head is required for the cursor to move?
  • What user actions should initiate and end the drag and drop capabilities?
  • Should there be other user actions (beyond open and close mouth) for mouse click?
