Margrit Betke

Margrit Betke is a computer scientist who has developed attachments for computers so people with mobility handicaps can use a computer by moving their head. My father has multiple sclerosis and this device is made for people in the advance stages of the disease. Her camera mouse, camera canvas, and Animate! programs have enabled people who cannot move their arms and hands well or at all to usea computer, draw on a computer or make animations.
