A Canadian company has been named to Time Magazine’s list of the 200 greatest inventions of 2023.
Naqi Logix’s patented earbud technology uses gyroscopic sensors and muscle and brainwave sensors to allow users to command and control virtually any digital device, hands-free.
Inventor Dave Segal believes it will be a literal game-changer in E-Sports and video gaming, as an alternative to the joysticks and buttons on typical game controllers. Segal has also demonstrated the technology using flight simulation software to fly a 737 aircraft.
However, the company has also used the technology to enable a person who is a quadriplegic to control a powered wheelchair, just with the earbud and without the need for a head array, sip-puff
straw or a joystick. Former Vancouver mayor Sam Sullivan, who is a quadriplegic, was brought in to try out the device. Global's Chris Gailus reports.
