This is really cool, thanks for sharing!

How did you end up working on this project? Where did the idea and motivation come from? Is there anyone with a history of brain trauma on the development team?

I was inspired after a friend of mine suffered a brain stroke in his 40s. He was rather severely afflicted and sits in a wheelchair now - but he never gave up. Always thought. He even bought a belted wheelchair and mounted his gun on it - still goes moose hunting.

I spent a lot of time with him talking about rehab and he told me how extremely boring some of the stuff was, and how Wii games were cool but some were very hard for him. And that kinda started it all.

We spent about 2000 volunteer hours on the project. But making the life of just one patient better was worth it. And we know we did. It's a great blessing to be able to help someone in this way.
