About this tag
The Assistive Context-Aware Toolkit (ACAT) is an open source platform developed by Intel Labs for people with motor neuron disease and other disabilities. Written in C# using .NET 4.5 and Visual Studio 2012, ACAT enables communication even in highly constrained situations. It was famously used by Professor Stephen Hawking, who typed with his face using the toolkit. The project highlights the intersection of assistive technology, .NET development, and open source software on Windows. For Windows users interested in accessibility or .NET applications, ACAT demonstrates how custom software can empower individuals with motor neuron disease.

Assistive Context-Aware Toolkit (The open source app used by Professor Stephen Hawking)
As soon as I read Mansib Rahman's post yesterday (as I write this) I knew I found the perfect project to highlight. I mean, come on it's Professor Stephen Hawking, Intel, .NET, WinForms (got to show some WinForm love now and then), open source and it's just cool! Link Removed I’m typing this...- News
