EYE am free
Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) and eye-tracking technology are opening doors for more people to communicate and live freely. Communication is a fundamental right. Everyone deserves the tools to express who they are, how they feel, to learn, connect with others, and make themselves understood.
Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) and eye-tracking
In a world where speech is a fundamental part of human interaction, Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) plays a vital role. AAC encompasses a variety of tools designed to address complex communication challenges. These tools assist individuals who, due to various circumstances—whether temporary or permanent—struggle with oral speech.
Motor or oral language difficulties can hinder communication for people with diagnoses such as Cerebral Palsy, Rett Syndrome, ALS, or those recovering from a coma or stroke. However, through eye-tracking technology, we can give these individuals a voice. Today, speaking, dreaming, having fun, and connecting using our gaze is possible.
Thanks to Augmentative and Alternative Communication Systems (AAC) and IRISBOND’s eye-tracking technology, people facing oral speech challenges can communicate using what we call dynamic communicators. Additionally, individuals with mobility challenges can interact with devices and their environment, accessing the world in alternative ways. It’s about tailoring different solutions to meet diverse needs.

Hi!
EYE am Dulce
In Spanish, my name means “sweet” and it’s funny how accurately it describes me. EYE am so cute, sweet, and am always smiling. EYE am 12 years old and EYE live in Madrid, Spain. Since EYE was 6, EYE’ve been using AAC to express myself. EYE started with symbol-based communication and gradually developed more and more skills. Now, EYE not only use predictive keyboards to communicate, but EYE also rely on my AAC device for almost everything. EYE make jokes, socialize with friends, watch makeup videos on Youtube, study and go to school. EYE truly enjoy life and EYE am happy and free.
Throughout my life, one thing that hasn’t changed is that EYE rely on my eyes and IRISBOND for everything EYE do. And now, with Hiru and iPadOS, EYE enjoy the best eye gaze experience.
Hi!
EYE am Edgar
EYE am currently pursuing a dual degree in Mathematics and Physics at the prestigious Complutense University of Madrid, Spain. EYE must confess, my true passion lies in the realm of numbers and coding. EYE am a mathematician. Besides my academic pursuits, EYE am quite the social butterfly. EYE have a penchant for dark humor and EYE am known to be quite the jokester among my friends. Of course, EYE am also active on various social media platforms. On Instagram alone, EYE boast a following of around 8K.
Now, with Hiru and iPadOS, my university programs (MATLAB, LaTeX), social networks, and iPad usage have become incredibly comfortable and user-friendly. EYE am so grateful for the assistance of Hiru from IRISBOND, as it enables me to navigate through my computer effortlessly with my eyes, as EYE can’t do it with my hands. EYE particularly find the AssistiveTouch menu and Snap to item feature extremely helpful.
Hi!
EYE am Gema
EYE am a teenager from Toledo, Spain, and EYE want to be straight with you. EYE was the first child to use AAC with eye gaze in Spain, and EYE couldn’t be prouder. Ever since EYE was little, EYE knew EYE was trapped in my own body, but EYE also knew that EYE had so much to offer the world.
Thanks to my amazing teacher and friend Sol Solís, EYE found IRISBOND, and it has been a game-changer for me. My eyes have become a window to the world, and EYE couldn’t be happier. EYE am non-stop, EYE am free and EYE want everyone to know it. Because EYE rely on my eyes and IRISBOND for everything EYE do, EYE am now the Co-Founder of my own Foundation at just 15 years old. Lately, EYE’ve been fortunate enough to receive several awards for my work. That’s why EYE believe EYE am the best!
