Consolidated Eye-Tracking Platforms

The 'TD Pilot' Brings Assistive Technology to Apple's iPad

— November 16, 2021 — Tech
Tobii Dynavox has previously made waves for exploring innovative applications of technology to aid the daily lives and activities of people living with disabilities, but the Swedish firm has now taken things to the next level with the introduction of a streamlined eye-tracking platform that brings speech generation and other assistive technologies to the Apple iPad.

The 'TD Pilot' solution revolves around a large tablet case that's embedded with eye-tracking technology that makes it possible for people living with conditions like spinal cod injury and cerebral palsy to engage with social media, enjoy gaming and stimulate their minds with educational apps. This eye-tracking platform is also connected to a communications solution called 'TD Talk' that translates text selected by eye-tracking into speech.

With a range of other features including Bluetooth and WiFi connectivity, mounting options and accessories, this eye-tracking platform is an example of how modern computing and communications technologies can be leveraged to help people with disabilities live more wholesome digital lives.
