Watch this video to see how easy it is to design your own custom keyguard: If that sounds right, read on.ĭesigning a keyguard What’s involved in creating a 3D printed keyguard? This may be necessary if you use an app/tablet/case for which we haven’t created a pre-designed keyguard or if you want to learn more about what’s possible. If that sounds promising, then go here for 3D-printable designs, or go here for laser-cuttable designs. There are two ways to obtain a keyguard design:
In this case, the apps are associated with Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC), however, any tablet app can be supported by designing a free-form keyguard. They do this by physically separating access to specific regions of the tablet screen with rails that rise up from the surface of the tablet.
Keyguards give individuals with limited muscle control the ability to point reliably at regions of an app running on a tablet.
