Tobii Dynavox enhances flagship product with new phone and gaming capabilities

Tobii Dynavox, the world leader in assistive communication, announces that it has augmented the popular I-Series communication aid with powerful new features, including the new app TD Phone, enabling users to control a phone with just their eyes on the I-Series. In addition, new capabilities have been added for Xbox gaming and drawing with the eyes on the I-Series.  

The I-Series is a medically certified, eye gaze-enabled communication aid, purpose-built for people with conditions such as ALS and cerebral palsy. This Windows-based device is developed to empower people with a voice. As one of Tobii Dynavox’s most popular communication aids, the continuous improvement of the solution is highly important to its loyal and growing user group. 

“With today’s updates for the I-Series, we continue our efforts to make it easier for people with disabilities to communicate by phone and to engage with gaming and drawing,” said Markus Cederlund, Chief Product Officer at Tobii Dynavox.  

The new I-Series capabilities: 

• The new software application TD Phone enables users to make phone calls and send text messages on iPhone and Android devices with their eyes through a user-friendly phone interface directly on the I-Series.  
• With today’s update of the Tobii Dynavox app TD Control, it is now integrated with Xbox media center, making it possible to play Xbox games, control the TV and stream Netflix or YouTube content with your eyes using the I-Series. 
• Drawing Mode has been added as a new capability within TD Control, enabling easy and fine-tuned movements, so that you can draw with your eyes on the I-Series.  

Today’s I-Series news follows the recent introduction of TD Browse, Tobii Dynavox’s custom-built app for browsing the web with just your eyes on I-Series.
