For the handicap Sl is an interesting way to have even more expression especially in regards to movement. Who knows maybe doing that with a mouse can stimulate someone to move a limb? Especially if they are recovering etc similar to physio? I know I can learna sport just by watching it on TV etc. I just copy the movements without any actual instruction other than visual.

I'm partially colorblind and these are easy to read. Looks like an excellent orientation. How easy is the place to find by the noobs though? I produce Machinima but I can't imagine doing it with the camera controls at least not the style that I am using. I use the spacenavigator which I highly recommend. Torley Linden has some great tutorials with it. Helpful to go back to the begining sometimes because sometimes you miss the simple things that can really help so I will check all these out.
