Here is Harper Using the Tobii Device
We have always believed in Harper’s abilities and skills. What a blessing it is to see her in action! She will be able to use the Tobii on loan for 30 days starting next Monday!
The first video she is asked to find a ‘quack’ from the cartoon Peep. Remember that the device is calibrated to Harper’s eye movement. When she holds her gaze on a picture for 1.1 seconds, the device registers that as “intentional”. After she finds the duck, look at the light on the screen closely; you will see her focus on it with her gaze to make the duck quack.
In this clip, Harper is asked to find “Pocket”, which she identifies as a horse (her special pony from Spirit Horse Therapeutic Riding Center). There is some suspense as you see Harper make us wait for her response. Watch for the red circle to show up on the screen…that is Harper’s gaze!!
