A System that Sees Your Needs

Today, technology plays a pivotal role in our daily lives, significantly impacting individuals. Individuals with muscular dystrophy, such as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), benefit from eye-tracking technology, allowing them to interact with computers. This technology empowers them to control computer functions using only their eye movements, eliminating the need for traditional mouse and keyboard inputs. Despite these advancements, ALS patients still face challenges with certain tasks. Our study focuses on a specific individual with ALS who utilizes eye-tracking technology to navigate Adobe Premiere’s video editing software. Our objective is to address these challenges by providing a solution that leverages the shortcut commands already available in Adobe Premiere Pro while also creating a simplified interface tailored for the individual we are designing for. This approach facilitates easier access to these shortcuts during his work. Our research emphasizes the potential to adapt and personalize assistive eye-tracking technology, creating more opportunities for individuals with disabilities.
