Hi all,
I have a friend who has 'locked in syndrome' for three years. He only has movement of his eyes.
I realised that there are ways Pete can communicate using 'eye gaze' software, but I do believe that the future is Vision Pro as he will not only be able to move towards communicating with others, but it will help him experience a world outside of his hospital bed again in 3d.
Here are the things we need to overcome to help him on his way...
- Pete wouldn't be able to use the Vision Pro headset by himself, so I would need access in the same way that people in the Apple Store have access when demoing the headset to people.
- Pete has movement of his eyes, but not his head so there would need to be adjustments.
- It would also be good to secure the headset more, so that if Pete sneezes it doesn't need resetting.
I can imagine that Apple would be keen on working on these things because not only do people like Pete need an improved experience of life on this planet, but there is a big market of people such as Pete out there.
So if anyone knows how to move forward with any of these things, or who I can get in contact with at Apple HQ, I would be keen to learn.
Thanks.
