LC Technologies has specialised in eye-gaze assistive technology for over 30 years, developing the Eyegaze Edge with direct input from people living with ALS and other conditions causing severe motor limitation. The company is based in Fairfax, Virginia, and continues to refine the device based on community feedback.
An infrared camera mounted below the screen tracks one of the user's eyes and maps gaze point to screen position with minimal calibration effort. Communication features include icon-based picture boards, pre-stored phrase banks, a full on-screen keyboard for composing messages and email, and remote control of iPhones, iPads, and Windows PCs. Smart-home and environmental control integration is also supported.
The Eyegaze Edge is primarily used by people with ALS/MND, spinal cord injury, locked-in syndrome, Rett syndrome, and other conditions resulting in very limited voluntary movement. It functions as a complete assistive technology workstation—providing AAC, computer access, and environmental control through eye movement alone—for users who cannot physically interact with any other input device.
