Switch Access Scanning and AI Timing Adaptation
Timing adaptation means the system adjusts how fast options scroll and how long it waits for your input based on your actual response patterns—not some preset average. If you're inconsistent (tired some days, sharp others), responsive AI notices and adjusts in real time, eliminating the constant manual tweaking most users currently need.
HypatiaSwitch access scanning is an input method where a user activates one or two physical switches to move through on-screen options sequentially, selecting items when the highlight reaches the desired choice. AI timing adaptation refers to systems that learn a user's response latency and motor rhythm to automatically adjust scan speed, reducing errors and fatigue.
For people with conditions like cerebral palsy or muscular dystrophy, AI-driven timing adaptation makes switch scanning significantly more efficient than fixed-rate systems, turning a slow and exhausting process into a faster and more personalized interaction model.
