Eye Gaze

The Eye Gaze is a device that is specifically designed for those who suffer from complex physical disabilities.  This device allows people to do many different things, and is controlled with only their eyes. Users can do things like: control the lighting in a room, operate a computer mouse, access the internet, and most importantly, attend school.

According to LC Technologies, Inc., A user sits in front of a screen, which contains a specialized video camera that is mounted under the screen and observes one of the users eyes.  Image processing software continually analyzes the users eye movement to determine where the user is looking.  The upside to this device? Nothing, yes nothing, is attached to the user, at any time!

The setup for this device is short and painless.  All it requires is a 15 second collaboration procedure to begin use.  As the user begins to become familiar with this device, he/she learns what is necessary to make it work.  In order for a user to select something on the screen, they must look at it for a specified amount of time.  Users can have a feeling of independence due to the array of menu keys and exit keys available, allowing for independent navigation.

Although this device was not particularly created for younger users, many younger people have been able to experience this great technology, due to the creators passion to help.  The creators of this device, made changes to their already existing product to allow for kids, as young as the age of 6, to use this device effectively.

The best part? This device is customizable and portable, to fit any users needs.  Thus allowing for the student to use this technology in a classroom setting, to reach maximum learning potential, which is ultimately the key!
