Abstract: A method of interacting with a mobile device via non-visual feedback includes receiving a first location-independent gesture from a user via a touch screen of the mobile device. The user may be seeing-impaired or blind. The first location-independent gesture may be translated into a first computer-readable instruction via a processor of the mobile device. An audio response to the user may be provided in response to the first computer-readable instruction via an audio output device of the mobile device. In response to the audio response, a second location-independent gesture may be received from the user via the touch screen. The second location-independent gesture may be translated into a second computer-readable instruction via the processor of the mobile device. In response executing, the second computer readable instruction may be executed via the processor of the mobile device.

Abstract: A workstation (100) has a motor-driven, height-adjustable back work surface (102), an independently adjustable front work surface (104), optionally dimmable work lights (114, 116), free-standing fans (118), and heated floor pad (120). The fans are pivotable and free-standing units that may be positioned to provide optimal comfort. The motor drives, work lights, fans, and heated floor pad connect to central control box (150), and a single point user interface (130) is operatively connected to allow the user to controlling all of these devices from a single device. One or more digital displays (137, 139) may be provided to indicate the work surface elevations. An optional activity sensor (122) may be provided to power down the lights, fans and heater when the workstation is not in use.
