14 DAY TRIAL // Tobii's been creating eyesight tracking-based control solutions for quite a few years, and now, the company's back with yet another very interesting product, the C15, a device that will enable people with disabilities to communicate easier using nothing but their own eyes in order to do so. The C15 features a 15-inch LED screen, whose larger size lets users carry out several movements without going out of range and also delivers an enhanced level of power efficiency.
Moreover, it runs Windows 7 and packs on-board, hot swappable batteries allowing for greater portability, while control options include, beside the CEye, Tobii ATI’s eye tracking unit, a built in touch screen, keyboard, mouse, head mouse or switches.
However, what really makes this thing stand out from a crowd is its eye tracking feature, enabling users to simply employ their eyes to type out words to turn into speech, or connect with others through e-mail, text messaging and chat, etc.
“The C15 completes our C-Series family which has already given so many individuals a way to live more fulfilled and independent lives just by using their eyes or touch,” said Tara Rudnicki, president of Tobii ATI. “
“With the C15 we extended the power and portability of our well proven C8 and C12 onto a 15-inch LED device. Not only can our clients tell their caretakers when they are hungry, but now they can connect with friends online and go out into the world without the worry of limited battery life. These devices have opened up a new world for them,” concluded the company's official.
The Tobii ATI C15 can be ordered as we speak and will be available late Q1 2011, although the company has not yet provided any significant pricing details, unfortunately, so you'll have to contact them directly for a price quotation.
