Thanks Geoff,
I remember the Peachtree one which was excellent... Not sure the ASL labs
(Even though probably quite suave) are actually proportional? I can't work
it out from the data sheets, but they appear to be proximity switches???
I.e. you could achieve the same with 3*ERI proximity switches?
Thanks for all the help. My colleagues think I'm getting a bit obsessed
about this!
Cheers.
Simon

There used to be a product called the Peachtree head control which was a
combination of capacitive detection and a head switch behind the head.
There is a current product by Adaptive Switch Labs Inc
http://www.asl-inc.com/Catalog/Index.asp?use=226
Can't think of anything else that is non contact and proportional.

Subject: Proportional Headrest Controls
Hello All,
Can anyone point me at some proportional head controls for
wheelchairs? I have rough ideas that some exist, but am finding it hard to
find details. Anyone and recommendations/links/experiences with these?
By Proportional Headrest Controls, I don't mean a chin joystick, or
a switched headrest controller...
Cheers.
