Richard’s experience with Grid Pad 16
Richard, aged 44 years old, lives in a rural village in the UK. Living an active lifestyle, he enjoys going out most days with his PA, visiting pubs, cafés, museums, and exhibitions, and meeting new people. Music and photography are also a big part of his life. Richard has relied on Grid software to communicate for several years, using his Grid Pad 15 with a head pointer. His device is more than just a communication tool – it’s a gateway to independence, allowing him to control his home environment, stay connected with friends and family, and manage daily tasks like online shopping and social media. Recently, Richard had the opportunity to test the Grid Pad 16. He immediately noticed improvements in responsiveness, with the head pointer feeling smoother and more precise. The screen is easier on his eyes compared to the Grid Pad 15, and the battery life and speaker quality have been standout features. Another aspect he appreciates is the sleek and modern design – particularly the way the head pointer is integrated with no visible wires. The built-in camera has also been a great addition, offering high-quality images with easy-to-use controls. One of Richard’s biggest passions is photography, and his Grid Pad plays a key role in making this hobby accessible. Using Smart Shooter software, he can fully control his Canon camera through the Grid Pad’s USB ports. This setup allows him to adjust camera settings and capture shots with minimal physical assistance, giving him the freedom to take photos on his own terms. After extensively testing the Grid Pad 16, Richard describes the experience as a joy, noting that the device has met and exceeded his expectations. With improved responsiveness, usability, and design, the Grid Pad 16 has seamlessly integrated into his daily life, empowering him to communicate, create, and stay independent.
