We're running studies of our assistive-AI products with the people they're built for: testing whether guided reaching, gaze communication, and haptic sports access genuinely restore independence in everyday life.
Register your interest to hear about sessions opening near you. Participation is always voluntary.
Making my own coffee sounds like nothing. But doing it without knocking the mug over, without asking anyone. That's the part of my morning that feels like mine again.
Who: people with low vision or blindness. EnAct guides everyday reaching; Feel the Ball turns live sport into haptics (also open to fans who are hard of hearing). Caregivers welcome.
Register interestWho: people with ALS or limited speech who communicate by gaze. Caregivers welcome.

Feedback from the people who have tested each product in their own lives, grouped by study.
People with low vision or blindness
The first session, I picked up my own keys off the table and put them in my pocket. Such a small thing. I had not done it without asking for help in two years.
I found the soup I actually wanted in a cupboard full of cans, picked it up, and made my own lunch. No one reached in for me. That used to be someone else's job.
At the store I reached up and took the box I wanted off the shelf myself, first try. The stranger who had stepped in to help just smiled and let me be.
People with ALS or limited speech
I used to spell each word letter by letter, and halfway through I would lose the thought. Now I look, and it understands. My family heard me finish a sentence without waiting.
Some days the word I want will not come at all, and a keyboard cannot spell what you cannot remember. Looking at the thing itself, a word I have lost no longer costs me the whole sentence.
I said good night to my daughter in my own words, not from a list of phrases. She noticed straight away that it sounded like me again.
Fans who are blind or hard of hearing
My whole life I have been a beat behind, cheering after I heard the room react. Feeling the ball move in my hand, I jumped up at the same second as everyone else.
I felt the fast break building before the commentary caught up to it. For once I was reacting to the game itself, not to the sound of the crowd reacting first.
I took my grandson to a game and for once I could tell him what was happening instead of the other way around. He kept asking how I knew before he did.
