Abstract
The aging population and individuals with disabilities in Namibia face various challenges in their daily lives that require innovative solutions to improve their quality of life. This study focuses on the development of a Voice and Gesture Controlled Personal Assistant (VGCPA), which is designed to enhance the quality of life of elderly and disabled individuals. The VGCPA system utilizes Arduino-based hardware and advanced Voice and Gesture recognition technologies to facilitate hands-free interaction. The primary aim of this research is to assess the feasibility, usability, and effectiveness of the VGCPA in assisting users with daily tasks and providing a more accessible computing experience. The research involves the design, development, and testing of the VGCPA, followed by an evaluation of user experiences and outcomes. The findings suggest that the VGCPA has great potential as an innovative assistive technology solution for the target demographic, with potential applications in healthcare, accessibility, and home automation.
