The MyTobiiP10 is an eye-controlled communication device specially designed for users with ALS, MS and other neurological disabilities. The unit comprises of a 15-inch screen, a computer and an eye-control device.

All it takes for the users to do is to sit in front of the television, follow a dot that appears on the screen for 30 seconds to activate the eye tracker and then it’s ready to be used. The MyTobii P10 maintains its high quality performance in any light conditions despite the user’s habit of wearing contact lenses or glasses and will not be affected by head movements.

This rugged ‘wheelchair’ might look like some ready-to-battle tank, thus the name but it sure performs. The Tank Chair allows users with leg injuries, paralyzed or simple couldn’t walk to go anywhere and everywhere, namely the field, on the snow, down some small steps, rocky road, etc. Each chair is custom built and can take on any type of ground.

This stylish pedometer not only calculates the distance you walk or the calories you burnt. This gadget is perfect for the mutes and blinds as it is designed with a built-in deafening alarm that claims attention and help; acting like a security device.


Tactile Wand Electronic Walking Stick

Forget about the old and unfashionable walking stick. Well, it was good as it last but with this new tactile wand electronic walking stick that is not only stylish but more practical than the latter, guess it’s time to bid the old walking stick goodbye.

The device uses a distance sensor to detect objects in front of the user and when the user gets closer to the object, it will cause a greater vibration.
