Intro at the Tobii training events in September 2011 - SESSION 1
Citation preview
Session 1 What is the eye control learning curve?
Hector MintoSales Manager UK, AT
Primarily an eye tracking company The communication access method for the most disabled
people An expensive but worthwhile technology for a small
number of users The quickest access method not an AAC company – hardware specialists – “just an
eyegaze company”
Ten years of eye control
www.tobii.com
Tobii Analysis overtaken by Tobii Assistive in numbers of system users
A growing number of users using eye control for many different applications
A cost similar to that of a Lightwriter ten years ago The quickest and easiest to learn access method One of the top three AAC companies worldwide – probably
number one in the UK
The reality
www.tobii.com
The largest AAC reseller network in the world
www.tobii.com
No statutory funding for AAC despite encouraging signals from the government
Children getting more systems than adults Adult SLT and OT awareness of eye control solutions
seriously lacking – mainly due to no funding Computer access not considered in the well funded
environmental control mix Cuts cuts cuts
