Koko and her Talking Computer (1991)

In this 1991 video we see Koko’s computer — a custom device that was provided by Apple’s Vivarium Program. This equipment was installed in Koko’s room and had a touch screen with a number of icons depicting an item or an action with the word in text underneath. If one of the icons was tapped with a finger, a female voice said that world aloud. Thus, giving Koko a voice.

Penny introduces the concept to Koko, and then they explored the machine. Koko was able to successfully use the computer to voice some signs and desires. Koko was able to communicate with us in a number of different ways, predominantly through sign language.
