I am in my final year as a student on industrial product design and I am working on a study about rain protection for wheelchair users. The existing solutions are either not integrated, bad looking, separating you from the outside world or taking too much time to install. To succeed my project I would very much appreciate your help because this is the only way to fully understand the needs of wheelchair users. I am also working together with some non-profit organisations in the sector. I would be grateful if you could take a little time to answer a few related questions.(very short and clear, only 1page) This will provide me with extremely useful information about you and your wheelchair. My dream is to transform this idea into a real product. Many thanks in advance !

Robi I saw this today and thought it would be good for a chair user if it were designed right. See what ya think. http://gothamist.com...10/nubrella.php
