Product Type:
AI-controlled avatar as voice assistant with eye control
Prototype
Areas of Application:
- ALS
Description:
Avatars and artificial intelligence can help people with ALS - an incurable nerve disease that leads to almost complete paralysis - to communicate. The device speaks with the help of the affected person's eye movements.
The virtual character combines a circular keyboard interface with predictive AI, modules that perceive movements of the tongue and ear muscles, and eye-tracking technology. All together, this enables people to write words, translate them into spoken language and communicate over a longer period of time almost in real time using eye control.
The avatar can capture a person's personality and mannerisms - for example when speaking or moving - with an accuracy of around 96 percent.
In the future, the avatar will also be able to provide precise simultaneous translation into foreign languages.
Other:
The assistance system was developed by the Scott Morgan Foundation, a British foundation that provides technological support for people with limited mobility and speech. The technology company Lenovo and the AI innovator DeepBrain AI were involved.
