Limited Mobility - Input Ideas

[derk]

I have muscular dystrophy and limited mobility.

my wheelchair has an infrared transmitter that I currently use with my home PC to control the mouse cursor. The receiver was originally part of a PowerPoint presentation remote pointer. It came with the remote, but I don't use it. It was made by:

I also run an application that automatically clicks the mouse button when I hover over something. It is made by:

do you guys think it would be possible for the 6700 to "see" the infrared signals my chair transmits and move some kind of a cursor? It would also require some kind of click or click-hold functionality. If you don't think the phone's infrared receiver would work what about the receiver on my home PC working with the phone's USB port?

the other option would be an application similar to this:

I'm not exactly sure how this would interface with the 6700 and it definitely is not a cheap solution.

Any ideas?
