Still in development, but the technology is there. Could be a great breakthrough.

This technology could be applied to so many other forms of media also. Gaming is a great example where spacial recognition is being used already.

 

Great find @Bambino

Amazing things happening in the world of technology today. If they can produce these cheap enough they will be another big benefit to the disabled. Some features are in existence already.

Absolutely brilliant piece of tech. Thanks for finding it @Bambino 

I have been seconded to a number of spinal injury units during my career and could only wish this sort of device had been available back then.....It would have made life so much more worth living for quadraplegics.

I do love the comment of one of the users

Livne, who displays an admirable sense of humour despite his situation, says he can finally “give my wife a call without listeners. Or my girlfriend.”
