It's so cool to see the development of technology that Brad went through throughout his life and also seeing how you two communicate with the eye tracker was pretty funny but also very interesting to see😂
My son still uses an iPad and a communication app. The eye tracker is awesome. Thanks for sharing guys.
They have an eye tracker for iPad now too!
I had never even thought of alternative ways of communicating but seeing this was incredibly interesting and informative. Can't imagine the mental stress of trying to communicate before an eye tracker. Great video! I'll be hyped to see how AAC continues to develop!
Thanks for making videos like this. Going to sound ignorant but sometimes I forget people like Brad exist and I think it's really awesome and important that he puts himself out there!
Thank you so much for the video! My 2 year old son has rare conditions as well as rare deafness and he will be getting his first AAC device in a few weeks! I am so excited!! I will be checking out your other videos, too. God Bless you both!
hope it goes really well!
Man, I'm so happy for you Brad! I don't know what I expected the time difference to be between eye tracking and the iPad, but wow. Imagine how much technology is going to keep improving over the years--there's no way it stops here
It's interesting to see how much parallels there are in the development of the possibilities of AAC users across the globe.
I ones tryed eyetracker and it's really amazing !
Nice the subtitles ;)
OMG! I work for Technology Today Aspire in WNY with adults with disabilities on computers. We use a lot of the assistive technology that you use! We have been doing zooms to keep in touch during the pandemic, and I showed your video on zoom today. My guys were so impressed at you using eye gaze technology! Great job!
I can't wait for one of your videos to go viral!!
What a journey, so wonderful of you to share. When eyetracking is not available, what system do you tend to use as a backup?
Nice to You guys having fun😇💪
Hi Brad, I really love this timeline of your AAC use. I'm a speech pathologist and presenting a day long PD on AAC. May I please show parts of this video to them?

I totally want to play WoW one day w/ Brad! You never know who you'll meet gaming. That's how I met my husband!
very good video!
This so cool
Wow throw back 🎃. Come so far.
OMG It makes me smile😆😆😆😆
Also, it sounds like Brad's voice has changed
Good find !! :P We decided to stick to one voice in this video and this was one of the voices he started with
@@AllAccessLife ohhhhh I see I see
Nice video
what headrest is he using? we desperately need to find a good one.
readly Cool
Great video
I heard the same my story your story
I'm a bit skeptical. Feels like this is maybe a quarter at best based on watching his eye movements, if he is actually looking at the screen, and the rest is more AI and filling in the words. This is quite confusing as there's words he is "saying" that are not even on the screen.
This technology could allow people who have severe disabillities to do amazing things.
Hullo ..I want to know why he is opening mouth again and again .. please tell me ... actually one of my maid son is also doing this kind of opening of mouth ...pls pls tell me. .and I m waiting for Ur reply till then u reply me
This kind of uncontrollable movements can be part of some kinds of cerebral palsy. Some other conditions can also cause similar mouth movements so I can’t say why your maid’s son is doing it. The guy in this video isn’t doing it on purpose though and I suspect your maid’s son probably isn’t either if it’s similar to this.
How does brad get hair cuts when he is always moving
Great question we will answer this in a Q&A type of video which we'll be doing soon :D
Hi, Brad. I am a fan of your CZcams Video's. I am Contacting you now in the hopes that you can please help me. I have a very good Friend who is like a Brother to me. He relies on me to help him, and, we are just there for each other. My Friend, he uses a DynaVox Computer. He is VERY good at it. However, it is impossible for him to Play Computer Game's (for example: the game that is Called, "Word's With Friend's" on FaceBook). I try to come up with ways that will work for him, but, they just do not work for him. This CZcams Video flashed his Name to me when I Watched it. My Friend is a pro at using his DynaVox Computer, but, this "Eye-Tracker" Device that you made your CZcams Video about, he feels that not only with Game's, but, this "Eye-Tracker" Device would be helpful beyond helpful to him, and, I feel that he would benefit beyond Word's from the "Eye-Tracker" Device (it would pick up Typing Speed and everything - for him, it would be a GodSend). My question, Brad, is, how can one of these "Eye-Tracker" Device's be purchased for my Friend: I mean, like, the "Eye-Tracker" Device is probably a ridiculous amount of Money, correct?? Also, how does one go about Buying one of these "Eye-Tracker" Device's?? Will one of these "Eye-Tracker" Device's work with my Friend's DynaVox Computer?? Please let me know as very soon as possible, as I am very much looking forward and I am waiting to hear from you. Thank you very much, Brad.
Can I very please get a Response??
gaming.tobii.com/tobii-eye-tracker-4c/ this eye tracker is $230. The other hardware needed like computer and mount will add to the cost. For the software, you will need to do research. I think a youtube comment section is not the best place to get answers. You would be better off asking in a forum website or speaking with a professional
