===This is the official site for JediPad Project - an endevour to build, from the ground up where necessary, a //__healthy__,// //__intuitive,__// //__efficient__// and //__complete__// computer interface.===



//This will replace mouse / keyboard, and change the way the OS looks / feels / behaves..// //Currently nobody seems to be really thinking out of the box re: computer interface// //( apart from the wii, which has hit since I started this project )// //If you'd like to involve, please do!!// //OK here goes...//

(If you reached here from www.sf7.wikispaces.com please update your link to www.jedipad.org or it will soon be out of date!)

Software


//......... -// //ie "which buttons do what"// depends on what you're doing //.........// **anyone can customize this via a simple scripting language** //.........////......... - Free resource// of scripts to be avail on website .................. companies eg Adobe, MS can upload scripts to webby .................. - Software automatically downloads relevant scripts for the progs you use
 * controller interface is **context sensitive**

//......... - Pressing it shows a semitransparent overlay showing which buttons do what (in the current context)//
 * **there's a "help" button**


 * This is to be used in conjunction with **voice recognition software** (and maybe **eye-tracking**) to provide a complete computer interface.
 * Software to be for **Linux**, **Windows**
