Two computers are outfitted with magnifying and reading software.
Another PC allows users with no physical mobility to control a mouse with the movement of their eyes. The mouse follows their gaze and clicks when they blink.
Another computer at the cafe allows those with limited mobility to stick a silver dot to their nose or glasses. A screen-mounted reader recognizes the dot's movement, and the user can navigate and type with it.
Leticia Rodriguez, who is deaf, attended the opening Friday and was playing with the silver-dot navigator.
"This is absolutely awesome," she said through a sign-language translator. "It's wonderful for people with other disabilities, and I think it's about time."
