Eye-Tracking Software to Help People with Disabilities Use Smartphones

An Israeli start-up company, uMoove, has spent the last three years developing a smartphone/tablet technology that allows users to control the device through eye and head movements. Moti Krispil, the founder and CEO of uMoove, sought to create this program to help people with disabilities use their devices “to do things like browse the Web, play games, and read books.”* The creators of uMoove were inspired by one of the founders’ relatives who’s living with ALS and is unable to use a smartphone or tablet.

While other companies, Samsung in particular, are trying to develop this same eye-tracking software, Moti and his team are determined to make this technology compatible on any device to make it available to all users and maximize it’s potential.
