Smartbox is a UK-based company that develops assistive technology products to help children and adults with disabilities communicate and live more independently.
One of their key products is Lumin-i, a powerful and precise eye-tracker used by people with disabilities to help them interact with assistive technology. Used alongside a Grid Pad communication aid, Lumin-i allows people to take full control of a cursor using eye movement. Users can interact with communication tools, control devices around the home, play music, send emails, and much more.
Smartbox needed an eye-tracking technology that could reliably track eye movements, even in challenging environments, to make their products as accessible and effective as possible for people with disabilities.
To achieve this, Smartbox selected Smart Eye’s eye-tracking technology for their Lumin-i product for several reasons. Smart Eye’s eye-tracking technology is known for its high accuracy, precision, and robustness, making it an ideal choice for Smartbox.
Smart Eye’s technology is also highly flexible and customizable, allowing it to be easily integrated into existing products and tailored to meet specific needs. Smartbox also valued Smart Eye’s strong partnership and support, which has helped them to continuously innovate and improve their products.
“I can use Lumin-i outside when it’s really bright, and it still follows my eyes.”
