ZURICH — A Swiss tech startup has launched a revolutionary smart wheelchair that allows users with limited mobility to navigate complex environments using only their eyes. The device, named "GazeMover," integrates advanced eye-tracking sensors and AI-powered obstacle avoidance to provide unprecedented independence.

Unlike traditional power chairs that require manual joystick control, GazeMover interprets where the user is looking and automatically adjusts speed and direction. The company claims the technology is particularly transformative for individuals with conditions such as ALS or high-level spinal cord injuries.

"This isn't just a mobility aid; it's a digital extension of the user’s intent," said CEO Elena Visser during the product launch at the Zurich Tech Expo. Clinical trials in German rehabilitation centers have shown that the chair reduces collision risks by 40% compared to standard models, marking a major leap forward in assistive robotics.
