Speaker
• Speakers allow you to hear music, voice, and
other audio (sounds).
• For speaker, a cable connects the speaker to a
port on the sound card.
• With wireless speakers, however, a transmitter
connects to the sound card, which wirelessly
communicates with the speakers.

Data Projectors
• A data projector is a device that takes the
text and images displaying on a computer
screen and projects them on a larger screen
so that an audience can see the image
clearly.

Data Projectors
• For example, many classrooms use data
projectors so that all students easily can see
an instructor’s presentation on the screen.
• An LCD projector, which uses liquid crystal
display technology, attaches directly to a
computer, and uses its own light source to
display the information shown on the
computer screen.

Force-Feedback Game Controllers
• Force feedback is a technology that sends
resistance to the device in response to
actions of the user.
• For example, as you use the simulation
software to drive from a smooth road onto a
gravel alley, the steering wheel trembles or
vibrates, making the driving experience as
realistic as possible.

• These devices also are used in practical
training applications such as in the military
and aviation.
• Some input devices such as a mouse, and
mobile devices such as a smart phone,
include tactile output that provides the user
with a physical response from the device.
• For example, users may sense a bumping
feeling on their hand while scrolling through
a smart phone's contact list.

Assistive Technology (AT) Input and Output
• Inputting information into a computer
system requires an ability to use a keyboard
or mouse.
• People with physical disabilities effecting the
use of their hands and fingers typically have
difficulty utilizing a standard mouse or
keyboard; thus requiring computer access
AT to input information into a computer.
