"The Neurowave Pulse Generator, a patented technology at the heart of the devices, holds proprietary electronic components and software that control, develop and deliver unique pulses, with highly specific characteristics. It is this very precise technology that will quick- ly control nausea from motion sickness and other significant indications. Endorsed by healthcare professionals, this easy-to-use, comfortable and adjustable wearable helps put people back in control, so they can live their lives in full motion.

"RightEye is transform- ing health and vision care by giving doc- tors and coaches a better way to see how our eyes and brain are working together. This solution is unique because it offers a single platform that delivers a broad range of assessments using eye tracking, from screening for concussion and other brain health issues to identification of athletes' vision strengths and weaknesses to detection of early indicators for autism and Parkinson's disease, even flagging vision issues that may be impeding read- ing. As we keep developing and adding new tests and training games, this list will continue to grow." The new RightEye system will deliver the company's revolutionary vision tests and training games, which are designed as highly interactive com- puter games that engage users, who use their eyes to shoot down asteroids, save the planet from aliens and blast bubbles off the screen. The eye-movement data obtained through the games is analyzed instantly by RightEye's proprietary cloud-based software, which generates a report following the test or training activ- ity. RightEye reports include details such as visual speed and accuracy, visual pro- cessing, depth perception and dry-eye indicators. "At Tobii, a core part of our mission has always been to allow our customers to use eye tracking to improve the lives of people around the world. For more than a decade, we have served academic researchers with tools contributing to pioneering breakthroughs, and we have helped users of all ages communicate through our own eye-control solutions," said Henrik Eskilsson, Chief Executive Officer of Tobii.
