Eye-Com Corporation Developing an Eye Controlled Wheelchair
June 21, 2010
The American Community Survey in 2006 reported that about 41.3 million people, or 15.1% of the civilian noninstitutionalized population 5 years and over in the United States, reported a disability. That is a significant portion of the population that could benefit from advances in assistive technology. The definition of assistive technology, according to the Assistive Technology Industry Association, is “any item, piece of equipment, product or system, whether acquired commercially off the shelf, modified, or customized, that is used to increase, maintain, or improve the functional capabilities of persons with disabilities.” Companies that develop and sell these devices or systems have the chance to improve the quality of life of these individuals and help facilitate their interaction with the world around them.
