With over 10 million severely disabled people among the Arab population, Rehab 2008 brings under one roof a large gathering of products and solutions for people with special needs.

MyTobii enables individuals with special needs to communicate using only their eyes. It allows you to interact through printed words, symbols, speech or voice output by just looking.

'We are excited about the launch of this product in the region during Rehab 08, as it has witnessed a very positive response. Our participation in Rehab 08 is the first step towards establishing our presence in the market, as we aim to address the needs of people with disabilities and help integrate them into the community.' Tomas E Nilsson, Director of Channel Sales, Tobii Technology commends.

User groups that benefit from MyTobii include people of all ages and cognitive functioning with Cerebral Palsy, ALS, Multiple Sclerosis, spinal cord injuries and many other conditions. MyTobii's unique ability to deal with large head movements has opened up eye control for people who are unable to use other eye controlled systems, including children and users with CP.

Easy to use

MyTobii takes only minutes to set up. The user does not need to 'do' or 'wear' anything. You just sit in front of the unit and look at keys or symbols displayed on the screen, as in front of a regular computer.

Designed for real life

MyTobii P10 is the first truly portable eye controlled communication device. The 15' screen, eye control and computer are integrated into one sturdy unit. There are no fragile external cameras or lighting units.

It can be mounted for use at a desk, wheelchair, bed or anywhere suitable for the user. Just connect to a power source such as a wall socket, power wheelchair or separate battery. Robust casings will survive real-world use.
