Richmond-based Virginia Commonwealth University Health Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation offers patients with tetraplegia a way to utilize a laptop with their eyes, according to Healthcanal.
Here are three takeaways:
1. VCU researchers created a mobile cart equipped with an extendable arm on which a laptop rests.
2. Above the keyboard, a thin, eye-gazer device called Tobii uses infrared technology to perform a computer mouse's functions.
3. Patients use their eyes to perform mouse and keyboard functions.
