equipment information | 9Integrated control systems by NovitaTechA comparison of integrated control systems was conducted by NovitaTech in South Australia, in 2005, andcan be viewed at http://www.novitatech.org.au/library/IntegratedControlsComparisonTable.pdfThe two devices described below are examples from NovitaTech, which provide access to multiple systemsthrough the powered wheelchair controller.The Genie JoystickBy Unique Perspectives Ltd.Use the one joystick to control a wheelchair, access a computer, operate amobile phone, environmental controls and communication devices.Wheelchair ControlThe Genie Joystick is ideal for a person who can use a joystick but whofinds the buttons on a standard wheelchair control too difficult to use. Justone button or a flick of the joystick is all that is required to switch modesfrom, for example, driving the wheelchair to adjusting the seat position andback again. It is simple to use with no complex menus or displays.On the top panel of the joystick are two buttons and the joystick elementitself. Button 1 is used to turn on the chair and select one of six operatingmodes: Driving, Speed Selection, Seat Function, Lights, Computer Mouse,and External Device. Depending on the needs and ability of the user someor all of these modes can be made available.3.5mm jack sockets allow connection of external switches for those whofind it difficult to operate the buttons on the unit itself. If the user is unableto use switches at all a special ‘joystick flick’ mode is available whereby aflick of the joystick takes the place of a switch.The Genie Joystick can be fitted to any wheelchair that is fitted with a DXpower module. If you already have a wheelchair the Genie Joystick simplyreplaces the existing joystick. No other equipment is required.The ClicktoGo is for switch operation of multiple systems.ClicktoGoby Unique Perspectives LtdThe ClickToGo provides effective powered wheelchair control usingswitches.It gives independent control of mobility to individuals who do not havethe requisite strength, control or co-ordination to use a standard joystickcontrol. The ClickToGo is operated by single or multiple switches via ascanning interface. The eight direction indicators are illuminated by ultrabrightLEDs and can be scanned in many different ways. When a directionis chosen, pressing a switch drives the chair.• Flexible, Versatile and Easy to Program• Sophisticated Operating Modes• Total Wheelchair Control• Integrating Communication, Environmental Control andComputer Access64
