The researchers say they wanted to help people with disabilities do something that's more fun than functional. "Many of the things we do help them solve basic problems â€" shopping, working, brushing their teeth," says Bruce Walker, an associate professor who works with the school's Center for Music Technology. "There are very few assistive technologies that help them do the fun stuff." Consider the aquarium firmly in the latter category.
