Robo (aka. Arsh Shah Dilbagi IRL) has developed this 3d printable communication device for severely disabled that uses persons breath for input. The device is cheap to make at some 72 USD for the working prototype.
Great project!

Project summary:
People suffering from Developmental-Disabilities like LIS, ALS etc. are almost entirely paralysed and this disables them to communicate in any way except using an AAC device. Estimates show that approximately 1.4% of world population suffer from such disorders which is more than the entire population of Germany. The Life Expectancy of such people is estimated at 20 yrs below average, mainly because of lack of expression. Current AAC Devices cost thousands of dollars and are slow, bulky and not generic. I decided to find a better solution - An AAC device which is affordable, faster, portable and generic.
Talk expects a person to be able to give two distinguishable exhales (by varying intensity/time) for converting into electrical signals using MEMS Microphone. The signals are processed by a microprocessor and labeled as 'Dots' - for short exhales and 'Dashes' - for longer exhales. These are further interpreted as Morse Code, converted to words/sentences and sent to another microprocessor for synthesising. Talk features two modes - one to communicate in English and other to give specific commands/phrases, and 9 different voices.
Talk has made two major breakthroughs by increasing speaking rate and becoming the world's most affordable AAC device. I got predicted results by testing the device with a person suffering from SEM and Parkinson's Disease. In future I would like to add auto-predictions to my Computing-Engine and integrate Talk with modern technology like Google Glass to make the world a better place to live people with Developmental-Disabilities.
Project homepage with much more details:

I'm still not sure if the project was made available to public and open sourced, but it should be relatively easy to replicate ...

SketchUp texture, is pleased to introduce and supporting the 'latest initiative from our friends archiSTART: live an architecture holiday in Rome partecipate in an international workshop togheter with 100 youngsters and win an internship.

architecture holiday in Rome promote by Archistart

archiSTART promotes IAH Rome, an international architecture workshop, incorporated within a holiday, created in order to generate interactive experiences between students and young graduates under the age of 32 years.

100 young people from all corners of the world can live together for six days sharing ideas and gaining essential experience while immersed in the architecture and entertainment of the eternal city: Rome. 

The innovative aspect of this initiative is the breaking of classical learning processes simultaneously pointing to several factors:

- Integration and cultural exchanges between students from around the world within a single working environment, with the possibility of refining language skills and learning different styles of lives and cultures.

- Discover the secret corners of the city through guided tours and during  leisure time.

- Experience first REAL project situations in close contact with tutors and professionals helping to ignite, and develop, a passion for architecture.

- Experience REAL competition through an internal competition that will ensure compelling participation and attention in the Workshop working at 100 meters from the Colosseum.

- A chance to compete for internships at two studios both based in Rome,  in order to reward the most deserving participants with a direct path into the working world.

- Fun, assured by the atmosphere and continuous organization of events, parties and initiatives, including the grand New Year’s Eve party.

Registration open from 15 october to 12 december 2014

We encourage those interested to hurry to get in touch !

Designed, Modeled and Rendered :  Joel Caleb Nanez 
(You can contact him by clicking on its name)
Work location : designer based in Taguig, Philippines
currently working as a 3d visualizer Architectural visualization.

Information on the 3D model
Caleb gives us the following information:
A project calls for a design which accommodates a single family with a green environment living and is an extension to their far from home primarily known as a Rest House , located at Batangas, Philippines.
In order to convince the client, the proposal  had to be realistic as much as possible by expressing a real condition of the site, In that way I used to think of an ambient that would gives a natural outlook of the scene when it comes to setting up render.
The scene, It was modeled in Sketchup 2013 complete with components, maps and vray 2.0 settings. Rendering took about 7 hrs in Vray including test renders. I’m always aware of my work that it doesn’t always perfect, and day after day, I'm always looking to improve in search of the excellence.
A big thank you to Caleb for sharing with us this wonderful job !
