“…Periodically, the literature features the results of well-designed pilot research studies conducted during the product development process that offer limited but empirical evidence about the efficacy of an innovative intervention. Exemplary recent studies have examined a range of topics, such as using robots as personal aides (Billard, Nadel, & Dautenhahn, 2007;Kulyukin, Gharpure, & Coster, 2008), adjustable wheelchair seating (Crane, Hobson, & Stadelmeier, 2010), the use of speech recognition technologies for improving writing fluency (Garrett et al, 2011), development of a virtual history museum (Okolo, Englert, Bouck, & Heutsche, 2006), adapted access that allows remote switch access for operating an iPod (Jones, Grogg, Anschutz, & Fierman, 2008), or a virtual mouse for individuals with neuromotor disorder (Mukherjee, Chakraborty, & Basu, 2008). In general, we must recognize that research follows innovation.…”
