Eye-Controlled Laptops Can Help Disabled Users

July 20, 2023 by noemi

Stephen Hawking has his custom-made computer setup that the “normal” person may only dream of creating, but thanks to Tobii Technology, ordinary people who have physical disabilities will have the chance to control their own computers using their eyes. Tobii is a big player in the realm of eye tracking and eye control technology and is based in Stockholm. The company has partnered up with Lenovo, which is the world’s fourth largest personal computer manufacturer, to come up with laptops that can be controlled using eye movements.

Stop and think for a minute. When you use your laptop, don’t you use your eyes before you even move that cursor with your mouse or trackpad? This is the premise of eye control – it is intuitive and everyone does it! Now, for the average person, having to use the mouse or trackpad may not be a big deal. But for someone who does not have full use of his hands, for example, being able to use his eyes to point, select, and scroll makes a world of difference!

According to Henrik Eskilsson, CEO of Tobii Technology, ((Tobii)) “…the Tobii laptop prototype is proof that our eye tracking technology is mature enough to be used in standard computer interfaces. To reach a state where the technology is part of the average computer, we need to make it smaller and cheaper. We believe that this can be realized in a couple of years by partnering with the right manufacturer.”

Obviously, the laptops are still in demo mode. There are only 20 units as of now, and they are being used to showcase what the technology can do. Still, this does seem to mean that we will be seeing these laptops in the market in the near future. Here’s a video showing the laptop in action.

Free laptop with mobile broadband

April 3, 2023 by Andy Merrett

The idea of a mobile internet has long been the fantasy of many a geek. With recent advances in technology over the last few years, this fantasy has now become not just a reality, it is fast becoming the norm.
If there are two pieces of tech that has really pushed the concept of surfing the internet ANYWHERE to practically a way of life it will have to be the netbook and mobile broadband.

First, the netbook has made mobile computing truly mobile. These small computers, practically, pocketbook sized laptops are so handy, light and portable you can put a netbook in a small bag. The other important piece in the equation is mobile broadband. WiFi may have untethered us from clumsy Ethernet cables, but it is mobile broadband that has truly freed us and now allows us to roam anywhere while still plugged in to the internet.

The best thing about these technologies is the cost. With netbooks, laptops and mobile broadband falling prices, anyone can have them without any hassle. Now, companies are offering free laptops with mobile broadband to advertise their product or service. Offering free laptops.

How many gadgets do you take with you when you go out? If you are like many people I know, there has to be at least these things in your arsenal: a laptop, a mobile phone, a tablet, an mp3 player, and a camera. Some may forego the tablet and the camera, but the fact that you usually need several gadgets with you can be a burden.

What do you look for in a notebook? Certainly, it depends on what you will be using the device for, but in general, average people will look at the aesthetics and the specs. However, there is a good market for notebooks that can withstand the rigors of unusual use. That is where toughbooks come into the picture.

One of the latest laptops that fall into this category is the Durabook R13C made by GammaTech. In case you are wondering just how tough the Durabook R13C is, think about the United States Military Standard 810G. The Durabook R13C passed this standard and can withstand all sorts of “abuse”, from drops to shocks to spills. It doesn’t end there, though. This laptop can also withstand explosive atmospheres and continue to work in spite of salt, fog, and low temperatures. [Read more…] about GammaTech Durabook R13C
