WHAT WE DO -> PROJECTS -> FeIRd
We created FeIRd, a joystick-like device so that people with mobility disabilities can use everyday household devices by themselves:
We built 100 devices and have already offered them free of charge to disabled people and organizations supporting them.
To enhance the autonomy of people with limited mobility.
Switching TV channels, turning up the sound system, turning the air conditioner on…
Simple, everyday actions we don’t even think about, right?
Not exactly. Not if you have mobility problems.
Actions that are so simple and self-evident for most of us are very difficult for our fellow humans. That limits their self-service and autonomy.
That’s why we created FeIRd.
To make them feel a bit more independent.
