new technology innovation

LONDON - During this wheelchair that is controlled by a remote control is included sophisticated. Now, presumably the sophistication akan tersingkir, because the switch with the wheelchair that can be driven with the mind.

Unique and sophisticated technology is developed by Spanish scientists, Dr Javier Minguez, from the University of Zaragoza. With technology, design, wheelchair users, especially the disabled do not need to use a conventional joystick to rotate and walk on the wheelchair. That they need to do is to think where they want to go.

"Wheel chairs are very easy to use. The volunteers who participate in the pilot wheelchair only takes 45 minutes to learn how to use them. Furthermore, they can operate it smoothly," said Minguez quoted from the Telegraph, Fri (1 / 5 / 2009).

Minguez wheelchair complete with a hat that contains the load electrode. When fit to the user, then this hat to detect brain activity and work to realize their movement to the direction they want.

In addition, there is also a laser scanner that can create three-dimensional image area where the wheelchair is located. The image displayed on the screen in front of wheelchair users.

Users can simply concentrate with the view of the screen and then place and direction that you want to dituju. The miraculous advanced technology will make this wheelchair and move to respond to suit users.

Unfortunately, this wheelchair is not yet ready to be marketed in a large scale. Minguez say at this time he developed the kind of wheelchair is faster and powerful. (srn)
