Touch Free Switch

The TouchFree Switch is an all-in-one "no-touch" switch solution. By pairing a  video camera with switch software, the TouchFree Switch allows users to trigger  mouse clicks without applying pressure. The digital camera can be tailored to  recognize almost any movement as a mouse click and can be positioned wherever  it's needed.

Appropriate for those with motor disabilities, body stress, fatigue, negative  reflex, and those doing range-of-motion exercises, the TouchFree Switch is compatible with a variety of single-switch scanning software. Visual and auditory feedback is optional.

Features

Point the camera at an arm, elbow, face or foot. Zoom in or out to capture small  or large movements. Select an area in the on-screen video window, then move in or out of the box to trigger a mouse click.

Suggested Uses

Students/clients with a motor disability that limits their use of traditional switches

Students/clients who experience body stress, fatigue,  negative reflex, or other undesired physical responses when using traditional switches

Students/clients doing range-of-motion exercises
