Tobii Dynavox has launched the next generation of the I-Series with Tobii’s latest eye tracking sensor IS5.


          The new I-Series is developed for people with disabilities such as cerebral palsy and ALS. It provides them with a voice to communicate and become more independent. The smaller I-13 and the larger I-16 are packed with groundbreaking innovations such as a partner window and industry-leading eye tracking performance using Tobii’s latest eye tracking sensor IS5. The partner window is a second screen, located on the back of the device, which mirrors the phrases being typed and enables true face-to-face communication.

          “The I-Series has made it possible for me to continue to do what ALS otherwise would have taken away from me. I can keep in touch with friends on Facebook, enjoy the latest shows on Netflix and go to live concerts. But most importantly, I can continue to coach the kids in basketball, football and deliver my pre and post-game speeches to them”, said Jeff  Fogel,  youth sports coach diagnosed with ALS.

     “Eye tracking unlocks a world of possibilities and with this new device, built on years of research and customer feedback, we have pushed the limits of what a communication device can do”, said Fredrik Ruben, CEO of Tobii Dynavox. “Our goal with the new I-Series is to create the best possible experience and empower our users in their daily lives for increased independence.

          The new device features a magnesium chassis, is medical graded and IP54 rated, In addition to the new screen design with a glare reducing finish the device also includes:

          Computer Control™: An exclusive desktop control tool only for the I-13 and I-16 letting the user intuitively interact with and control their device using their eyes

          Adaptive Buttons: Programmable buttons on the front of the device, accessible with eye tracking and touch,

         Wake-on-Gaze™:allows users to turn on the device just using their eyes, without help of anyone else. The feature increases the user’s independence and helps to preserve the battery life of the device.
