The Swiss Paraplegic Center is developing a platform that gives tetraplegics and people with limited hand functions barrier-free access to the digital world. Those affected can interact in the ParaVerse platform using XR glasses using only eye control. They can use it to surf the web, watch YouTube videos and contact their loved ones via messenger app. All this without using their hands or voice, which is particularly beneficial for newly injured people. The caregiver only needs to assist in putting on the glasses. In addition to increased independence, this will give those affected a large portion of privacy back.
