STOCKHOLM, Oct. 21, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Tobii Dynavox,
the global leader in assistive technology for communication, today
launched the next generation of the I-Series, its flagship
communication device. The new I-Series is the lightest, fastest and
most durable on the market and comes with Tobii's latest eye
tracking sensor IS5.
The new I-Series is developed for people with disabilities such
as cerebral palsy and ALS. It provides them with a voice to
communicate and become more independent. It is the lightest,
fastest and most durable integrated eye tracking device available.
The smaller I-13 and the larger I-16 are packed with groundbreaking
innovations such as a partner window and industry-leading eye
tracking performance using Tobii's latest eye tracking sensor IS5.
The partner window is a second screen, located on the back of the
device, which mirrors the phrases being typed and enables true
face-to-face communication.
"The I-Series has made it possible for me to continue to do what
ALS otherwise would have taken away from me. I can keep in touch
with friends on Facebook, enjoy the latest shows on Netflix and go
to live concerts. But most importantly, I can continue to coach the
kids in basketball, football and deliver my pre and post-game
speeches to them", said Jeff Fogel,
youth sports coach diagnosed with ALS.
"Eye tracking unlocks a world of possibilities and with this new
device, built on years of research and customer feedback, we have
pushed the limits of what a communication device can do", said
Fredrik Ruben, CEO of Tobii Dynavox.
"Our goal with the new I-Series is to create the best possible
experience and empower our users in their daily lives for increased
independence.
The new slimmer and lighter device features a magnesium chassis,
is medical graded and IP54 rated, making it more durable than any
other eye tracking device and can withstand daily challenges such
as water, dust, drops and hits. In addition to the new screen
design with a glare reducing finish the device also
includes:
- Computer Control™: An exclusive desktop control
tool only for the I-13 and I-16 letting the user intuitively
interact with and control their device using their eyes. It creates
a more accurate eye gaze interaction, while minimizing the amount
of eye movements and thus reducing fatigue.
- Adaptive Buttons: Programmable buttons on the
front of the device, accessible with eye tracking and touch, allows
for greater flexibility and independence for the user while still
giving caregivers access to common functionalities.
- Wake-on-Gaze™: A unique feature only found on the
I-Series allowing users to turn on the device just using their
eyes, without help of anyone else. The feature increases the user's
independence and helps to preserve the battery life of the
device.
