The Eye-Com EC7T is an assistive device that allows individuals to communicate with eye tracking. These electronic glasses give the user a hands free approach to using any personal computer. By simply plugging in the glasses to a computer, the user can move the cursor with their eyes and blink when they want to “click” on something. This allows individuals with paralysis or those with disorders that lack motor skills to be able to communicate easily. Other individuals that are great candidates for using this device are those with traumatic brain injury, genetic disorders, or those who may have had a stroke. These glasses, in their newest model, also can be programmed to follow head movement of a user and can trigger wheelchair movement. Using these in the classroom can be very beneficial, as they may relieve stress and frustration for the teacher and the student by allowing communication to occur where it previously could not.
