The leading researcher in this project Sima Soltani has said that, “the device we have developed is an interface which disabled people can use to easily communicate with others.”
“This system is a human-computer interface in the form of a headset which is mounted on a pair of glasses to recognize the eyes’ electrical signal to help people with motor disabilities convey their intention or request without need for hands,” she added.
According to this researcher, this system will also allow the user to play video games using eyes that improves their skills while keeping them entertained.
On the characteristics of this newly developed system by a knowledge-based company, Soltani said that, “lightweight, wireless performance, detection of vertical and horizontal movements of the eye, efficient typing, conveying intention by selecting images, as well as incorporation of video games are among the main features of this invention.”
“It allows disabled people, who are not able to move their limbs and speech, to express their intentions and feelings just by moving their eyes,” she continued.
Stating that the prototype of this interface has been prepared and is ready to enter the market, Soltani underlined that, “signals are recorded at a high quality in the headset which allows the disabled person to work efficiently with the system.”
She further pointed out that, given the six hundred thousand patients with mobility impairment in the country who are faced with certain limitations, they will be able to communicate with others using this system.
This device has been developed by a knowledge-based company in the town of Isfahan, Iran.
