Imagine groundbreaking technology that empowers individuals facing speech challenges. Thanks to an extraordinary collaboration between NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Eyegaze Inc., such a solution now exists.
Meet the Eyegaze Edge, an eye-driven communication device designed to revolutionize how we connect. This compact yet potent device seamlessly integrates with computers, mobile phones, and tablets, opening up a world of possibilities for users. Whether you’re chatting online, posting on social media, sending emails, or making phone calls, the Eyegaze Edge puts communication at your fingertips.
Calibration in a Blink
Setting up the Eyegaze Edge is a breeze. In just 15 seconds, it calibrates to a person’s gaze, ensuring precise functionality. But how does this remarkable device work?
Back in 1998, NASA and Eyegaze embarked on a mission to enhance communication technologies. The Eyegaze team initially conceptualized and designed the device, but their partnership with NASA took it to new heights. With NASA’s expertise, the gadget’s design evolved significantly, shrinking it down to the size of a sleek laptop.
The heart of the Eyegaze Edge lies in its eye-tracking system. By pinpointing the exact location on a screen where the user’s eye focuses, it enables seamless interaction. This process involves infrared reflections, allowing for precise communication even for those with traumatic brain injuries, strokes, or conditions that prevent verbal expression.
Whether placed above or below a computer screen, the Eyegaze Edge is a game-changer, granting the power of expression to those who need it most.
This is a powerful innovation, I am very sure it will be very expensive
This device is definitely a life saver. It is expensive but your insurance may help.
Thanks for the writeup.
This is great, i will recommend it in my channel. i love that the setup is a breeze, under 15 minutes. I came upon something similar at ebay but looks very complicated in the manual. Where can i find the manual for this?
I bet there will be a wiki page/manual that answers all the questions about this. Will check later when i have time and revert back. Thanks for asking.
Many companies have been developing advanced eye tracking for several decades. It takes NASA to develop a top notch. lol
I will research this products, since NASA is involved.
Your project seems really interesting, I became very curious about it. Don’t forget to update this post if you succeed. in the research
That will be the mod you are referring right
I dont have no idea of pricing about this gadget, but looks expensive lol and maybe worth it,
