https://www.tobiidynavox.com/en-US/devices/eye-gaze-devices/i-15-with-communicator-5/My dexterity has continued to wane so, today, the VA has ordered an upgrade that will track my eye movements. The factory representative hinted at a cost of US$16,000. (I don't know how many Loonies, Kopeks, Quid, Yen, DM, Krona or Euros that equals but I'm one happy Irishman). I think it has enough horsepower to run BIAB! Donny

Matt, It has two cameras, one rear-facing and one forward. Perhaps I can upload some pics from the gazebo, my favo(u)rite spot on the planet. It got up to 74F yesterday so I spent the evening outdoors for the first time this year. Supposed to be warmer today. Donny

very cool technology for a very cool dude! I'm happy they value you enough to pony up the cash ! Does this enable you to have real-time conversations? Pat, Yes. It has scores of built-in common phrases (good morning; thank you; more beer; is it cold/hot in the gazebo?; etc) and it will speak anything that I type in. I can assign new phrases to "hot keys" for one-key recall. I'm anxious to learn if it is robust enough to run BIAB while I enjoy the gazebo. We hear a lot about our veterans being neglected and abused but I haven't seen that to be true. Granted, it can take months to get a routine appointment but that is because your doctor will spend a full hour with each patient covering everything in great detail. As regards funding: My ride, as equipped, is over $40k and they have upgraded my Dynavox a total of four times. Each time a newer model becomes available they upgrade me without my asking. A lot depends on how you treat the staff. When my tiny 80 pound Physical Therapist was told that I didn't qualify for a tilt/recline power wheelchair she simply went into the showroom and drove off with it. I can cite many similar incidents. The Dynavox rep said: "Don, you certainly have a way of getting things done!" I have been upgraded to the highest level of care at VA, lacking only dental care. Donny

What else do you need?!?

John,
At the risk of tooting my own kazoo, I have donated my older Dynavox Speech Devices to Illinois State University - Special Needs Music Department for use by music students with emotional and/or physical deficits.
In about 3 months, I'm sending one to a forum friend.
