FlexAbility is a modular kit prototype created from ethically and sustainability vetted components facilitating the creation of made-to-measure wearables for people with physical disabilities. This open-source kit allows us to build customized wearable solutions for accessing computer and other devices, and will be made available to a network of designers, fabricators and community centers through the web portal flex-ability.org, along with informational and support services.
This project is rooted between San Francisco, US, and Munich, Germany, where we are collaborating with consultants at the community centers Ability Now Centre and Stiftung Pfennigparade to conduct living lab research.
