This device was created by a large group of people for the
graffiti that is known as Tempt1 aka Tony Quan. He was diagnosed with ASL which
caused him to be completely paralyzed and unable to paint anymore and had to
communicate through technology such as computers. The device made it so that
Tony was able to paint again using his eyesight and the negative from a laser
pointer that a camera attached to his glasses picks up. The group got funding
of $18,000 as a starting budget to programme
and manufacture these devices, that is only made up of PlayStation eye camera
that has been hacked a part, a laser pointer and a pair of cheap glasses. The hardware
can made cheaply and effectively and all of the software is free to download
and install, make it readily available for anyone how is paralyzed. Everyone
thought that this was impossible task but through hard work and a team of
people from different fields they managed to make the impossible possible and
change the world around them.
This technology is amazing
as it has so much potential to help people. The way it was made also has the
potential to imagine new and fresh ways to solve problems in real life with
technology, this in a games design sense could be new mechanics or even
consoles or technology to run them. It even has the potential to bring amazing
artists and designers that have been forced to leave their career back to doing
what they love.
