' With the X1 Eye Control now enabled with eye gaze, it will come to great use for many of them.”Here is a video of Philadelphia resident Jimmy Curran using the new setup:'
'Xfinity X1 eye control is a web-based remote for tablets and computers that pairs with an existing eye gaze system and allows viewers with a single glance to change the channel, access the DVR or search for programs. '
'Comcast has launched a feature enabling viewers with physical disabilities like spinal cord injuries or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) the ability to navigate their television using only their eyes. '
'The free service addresses a sizable population of TV viewers. '
'After customers pair the web-based remote with their set-top-box, each time they gaze at a button, the web-based remote sends the corresponding command to the television.”We are pleased to see how Comcast continues to make their products and solutions accessible,” said Tara Rudnicki, President North America Tobii Dynavox, a leading provider of touch and eye tracking assistive technology hardware and software. “As an assistive technology company, we want to empower our users to live independent lives.
