Assistive Hardware Products - Mice Alternatives

 

Being able to speak is something that most people take for granted. However, some of us are born with Cerebral Palsy, have ALS/MND or may have acquired a disability through an injury or a stroke—all of which can impair our ability to speak.

We offer a range of new augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) solutions that help individuals with speech impairments communicate.Purpose built communication devices that enable communication – in all forms, anywhere, anytime.

Our devices are portable eye-controlled communication devices. Everything, including a screen, eye control device and computer, is integrated into one unit. Just connect to a power source, such as a wall socket, power wheelchair or separate battery. The device can be mounted for use at a desk, wheelchair, bed or anywhere suitable for the user.

Who is helped by Eye Controlled Devices? Users with disabilities such as:
-Cerebral Palsy
-ALS
-High level spinal injuries
-Multiple Sclerosis

The interface can be configured for many different skill levels thus being flexible enough to serve many different user groups.

Dependable, easy operation
-Easy to set up
-Fully automatic
-Quick, easy one-time calibration
-Mounts to desk, bed or wheelchair
-Easy to adjust to the needs of different user groups

The eye tracker doesn't need the user to "do" or "wear" anything. Simply sit in front of it, follow a dot during a 30-second calibration and you are on your way! With flexible mounting, easy customization and different hardware options, every situation is catered to.

Reliable tracking
-No undue restraint on head movements
-Tracks nearly everyone, even those with glasses or contacts
-Works in many lighting conditions
-Compensates for large head movements without errors
-Very high accuracy

Our devices will operate precisely regardless of glasses, contacts, eye color or light conditions. People with uncontrolled head movements can use eye control for the first time. Tobii's unique ability to deal with large head movements opens up eye control to user groups who have been unable to use other systems.

Robust design
-Eye tracking components fully-integrated
-Robust casings will survive real-world use
-New portable unit with computer processing built in

Our eye tracking system is extremely accurate, portable and tough enough to deal with real-life. No fragile external cameras or lighting units mean your system will be able to go everywhere with you. High accuracy and powerful interaction techniques mean your device will also keep up with you.

 

Eye control for accessibility
Eye control enables users with special needs to communicate and interact using only their eyes.

This brings new opportunities for communication, interaction and improved quality of life for users who previously relied on slow and cumbersome alternatives for their communication, such as manual scanning systems or head-mounted pointing devices.

With our products suite, eye control is reliable, easy to use and accurate.

Opens many communication opportunities
-Using only eye movement, users can easily and quickly communicate where other techniques are not effective.
-With Tobii, eye control works even when the user has involuntary movement as a result of CP or other disability, those who wear glasses or many other characteristics that limit the effectiveness of older eye control systems.

Effective with a wide range of users
-Typical user groups that benefit from eye control include users with Cerebral Palsy, ALS, MS, spinal injuries, and many others.

Flexible to everyone's needs
-MyTobii works with all users, regardless of glasses, contacts and or eye color.
-With the optional battery pack you can easily mount the system on a wheelchair and be free to communicate on the move
-Functions precisely in almost every situation - at home, at work or at school. The flexible mounting system makes it possible to mount the unit at a desk, on a wheelchair, over a bed - anywhere suitable for the user.

Very easy to use
-Our system is designed from the ground up with one goal in mind: making communication easy for the toughest users.
-After a fast, one-time calibration, no additional adjustments are needed. Just get in position (in front of the unit, as in front of a regular computer screen) and it starts automatically.
-Eye control in itself is so simple to learn and use that users of all cognitive levels can communicate with the system
