The device controls the computer by eye

For only $ 30 / set, the GT3D device helps paralyzed people control the computer by eye. Biomedical engineers at Imperial College (London) have developed a new computer-controlled device called the GT3D for people with paraplegia.

Equipment is not only easy to use and help users control the computer more accurately but also very low cost compared to the current method ($ 30 / set).

The GT3D utilizes two cameras to capture the user's eye. The two high-resolution cameras combined with game-control algorithms will allow the camera to track and process images of the eye at an extremely high speed. and exactly.

Because two cameras are used to observe both eyes simultaneously, they can track the corners of the eye as well as the distance that the eye can see. The system works very efficiently in 3D as well as providing Interactivity with the real world.

To control GT3D, users simply need to click the mouse. With the GT3D, the disabled can also enjoy playing Pong games within 10 minutes.

According to TS Aldo Faisal, head of the research team, GT3D works 10 times faster and tens of thousands times cheaper than current neuroscience invasive methods. "Equipment will help people with disabilities take care of themselves independently ," he said.

In addition to the user-controlled functions, the GT3D can also be used to control a wheelchair, or even control a robot arm.
