Abilitec Amber Getting Started page 7

Amber is a piece of equipment called an Environmental Control System. It is designed to
assist people with severe physical disabilities to interact independently with their
environment.
There are many modern electronic appliances available to entertain us or enhance our comfort.
Most require us to be able to operate switches or push buttons or turn knobs to work them. If
you cannot do that, due to a physical disability, the appliance may be useless to you.
Amber is able to overcome such barriers to provide you with a means of operating a wide
range of electrical and electronic devices - completely independently. If you can work a single
switch, puff in a tube or even just blink an eye, Amber can give you access to the world.
Here are some examples of the appliances and other systems which Amber can operate at your
command:
• Television
• Video
• Stereo
• Radio
• Telephone
• Heaters
• Lights
• Intercom system
• Door locks
• Fan
• Air-conditioning
• Open & close doors
• Open & close curtains
