Assessment of a novel, smartglass-based control device for electrically powered wheelchairs.

Conclusions: Smartglass control enables safe maneuverability for people with various diseases. Implications for rehabilitation Munevo DRIVE© is a novel, smartglass-based, head control device for electrically powered wheelchairs. Smartglass control is slower as hand joystick control but enables safe maneuverability. Smartglass control is an alternative for people with impaired or lost upper limb function, for example, those currently using chin joysticks or similar devices.
