Eye Tracking System Enables Charter School VP to Compute Hands Free

Howard has Muscular Dystrophy, but this hasn’t stopped him from a successful career as the Vice President of a National Chain of Private Charter Schools.We met Howard at the Arizona Science Center with a group of his students and within five minutes of being introduced to our TM4 Eye Tracker, it became obvious that this would change both his career and personal life forever!

Now Howard doesn’t have to rely solely upon his personal assistant to control his computer. Howard attaches the EyeTech TM4 eye tracker to a tablet PC mounted to his wheel chair. During a typical day Howard uses his eye tracking system to:

  • Call – he often uses Skype to communicate with co-workers and friends across the U.S.
  • Send Email & Text Messages
  • Surf the web

In fact, Howard Skypes us often using his eye tracker. He is extremely proficient on the computer now. He even attended the AZTAP conference to demonstrate to other Assistive Technology professionals how eye tracking technology has helped him and how it will benefit others.

Howard had this to say about the EyeTech eye tracking system: “The freedom, independence, and happiness of being able to do something which I had long been dependent upon others to do for me, is indescribable.”
