Roman Mars: Kurt Kolstad的个人经历促使他对辅助设计进行了深入的思考和实践。他通过撰写文章和设计辅助工具,分享了他的适应过程和解决方案,为面临类似挑战的人们提供了宝贵的经验。 Kurt Kolstad: 我因为一次意外导致右臂瘫痪,这使我不得不重新审视周围的世界,因为这个世界是为双手健全的人设计的。我尝试了各种方法来适应单手生活,包括改造现有的物品和寻找专门为单手设计的工具。在这个过程中,我发现了很多意想不到的挑战和解决方案,也对设计有了更深刻的理解。例如,我发现磁性扣比传统的塑料扣更方便单手操作,并开始在所有东西上使用它们。我还尝试了各种单手键盘,但最终选择通过编程来改造我现有的键盘,使其更适合单手使用。我希望通过分享我的经历,能够帮助其他面临类似挑战的人们。
