In order to accommodate a wider number of cases, iWriter considers two different designs of keyboards either standard or vertical keyboard based on the user's disability type. iWriter is an Arabic system that provides two communication methodologies: virtual keyboards and a set of assistive images that illustrate their basic needs. Motivated by this problem, this project aims to assist people with Severe Motor Disability by developing an Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) iWriter system that is operating entirely by eye gaze. Assistive technologies can provide alternative forms of communication for people with severe motor disabilities that can help them overcome the problem of verbal communication, and consequently improve their quality of life.
