The Eyegaze Edge is a communition and control system that is operated by the human eye. It empowers people with disabilities to communicate and interact with others and the world around them. Using this device, a person can speak, write, use a computer and use home control systems. You can view a video that demonstrates how the Eyegaze edge works here.
This device is helpful for people with brain injuries, cerebral palsy, ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease), spinal cord injuries, Multiple Sclerosis, Muscular Dystrophy and other similar circumstances.
This highly accurate machine can predict a user’s gaze within 1/4 of an inch. A person uses this device to look at whatever control/button they want to press and then the action is performed. LC Technologies Inc. specializes in creating devices that reduce or eliminate eye fatigue. This product is comfortable for the user because one can operate the Edge from any position including laying on your side because the camera is adjustable. The system only requires the use of one eye to track accurately, so that works well for people who have may droopy eyelids.
LC Technologies, Inc. is a company that prides itself on the motto, “eye tracking that brings power to sight.” Founded in 1986 by a group of engineers, the company produces the Eyegaze and has improved it for over two decades.
