From 'Sam's View'
Hi everyone in cyberspace. My name is Sam and I have ALS or MND since 1992. Most people with this disease feel imprisoned in their own body. In the summer of 1999 my graduating class of 1974 celebrated our 25th year reunion. When it was over five ladies joined forces to raise money to purchase a VisionKey and computer for me. The thought of being able to communicate with the outside world is overwhelming because I can only move my eyes and lips.
If H.K.EYECAN, the manufacturer of VisionKey, were to have a theme song I believe "A Whole New World," from the soundtrack of Disney's Aladdin, would be appropriate. That is exactly what it delivers. What everyone does with a mouse and keyboard, I do with my right eye through the viewer of the Vision Key. This electronic marvel restores some independence and sense of freedom. Just for some examples I can open, operate and close all Windows Programs, Gus Multimedia Speech Program, Photoshop, Acrobat Reader, Norton Anti Virus, Winamp, Napster, Eudora and Istar.
The latter two are my ticket to the outside world. I e-mail my friends around the world and surf the net like everyone else. Actually I have been in touch with medical firms and purchased their products all because I have the use of VisionKey.
This is where the magic begins. Remember I use the VisionKey with my right eye. When I put the viewer on and just open my left eye, I see my normal computer screen. When I close my left eye and open my right eye, I see a virtual world of numbers, letters and characters. When I open both eyes, I see my normal computer screen and a sort of transparent illusion of the chart in the viewer. How the brain and eyes create this image is a mystery to me. It allows you to operate your computer to it's fullest potential.
The only way to appreciate VisionKey is to experience it for yourself. This instrument will unleash your mind from it's captive state. The positive impact is instantaneous and will definitely add to your quality of life.
As for the expression the hand is faster then the eye, it no longer exists.
