Scientists in London are working to develop a wheelchair that can be moved simply by looking in the direction in which the user wishes to travel.
Most paralyzed (瘫痪的) people can still move their eyes because they are directly connected to the brain. Some existing technologies already allow severely disabled people to stare at arrows (箭头) on a computer and direct the movement of a wheelchair. But there are problems with that system,including a delay between the movement of the eyes and the wheelchair.
"Current tracking software often uses a screenbased system where you have a screen open and you look at locations on the screen. The problem with that is that it diverts (转移) the user's attention from the outside world and therefore there's more risk of not noticing other things like stones in the way,"said Kirubin Pillay,a PhD student at Imperial College London.
A team led by Aldo Faisal at Imperial College London has developed a software that allows users to move the chair just by looking in the direction they want to take.
"Our eyes are not only a window into our soul. They're also a window to our intentions. So if we want to go somewhere,we will look there in a specific manner. We can build a computer system that can decode (解码) our eye movements,and so we observe eye movements with an eye tracker,and the computer interprets these commands and drives the wheelchair accordingly,"said Fasial.
Two cameras trained on the eyes observe their movements and can determine whether a patient is merely looking around or wants to move in a certain direction.
Visual information detected by cameras is analyzed by algorithms(计算程序)and then translated into instructions for movement that's almost instantaneous(瞬间的).
The camerabased system costs only about $85 because most of the work is done by the algorithms. No expensive hardware is needed. The London team hopes to make the system commercially available within three years.
