Her uncle had parkinson. This simple yet innovative solution helped him big time:
she questioned how her uncle walked up and down the stairs. Surprisingly, he was able to do this without any problem, but as soon as he stopped, he had trouble walking again. She decided to apply a “staircase illusion” to the floor by having the illusion of a staircase flowing throughout her uncle’s house. To her surprise, this simple solution was able to help her uncle move around the house faster and easier.

Since G+ is very bad at searching, I created this summary of the tools; read the full G+ post (Google Translate is quite OK), including comments on why.
Edit: 20160402 – I’m posting regular updates based on the comments for that G+ post. I’ve changed or added German iTunes store links to US-English ones.

Based on Mac@30, here is my educated guess for Apple@40.
(Boy what were they thinking when establishing Apple Computer Inc. on April 1st 1976)
