PRACTICE THROUGH FUN

Our Goal is to Increase Independent Learning

As Measured by an Increase in Confidence

& a Decrease in Accidents

By Building a Practice Anywhere Virtual Trainer

Good for Patients, Medical Staff, Everyone

MXT together with the TSF are collaboratively building a Virtual Wheelchair Training Experience for both the medical & out-patient community.

EDUTRAINMENT

Wheelchair Basics & Mechanics

FIVE Gamified Movement Training Levels

And the possibility of data capture, reporting & certification

Teaches safe wheelchair operation using a variety of Assistive Technology (AT) peripherals, along with controls, limitations, emergency actions, and extended real world scenarios.

Practice Like Never Before

Reduce Accidents

Too many wheelchair users feel uncomfortable dealing with ramps, tight doorways, people, dogs, and numerous other obstacles that are too often taken for granted.

Promote Independence, Confidence & Self-Fulfillment

Learning how to live in a wheelchair is hard enough, let alone learning an assistive technology device like the Sip & Puff inorder to be mobile.

Gamified Learning

We teach in a fun way, from the privacy of your home, in a discrete and comfortable setting, and at your pace.

Navigate through mazes of various levels of complexity, while using the "holospheres" as both guides and score markers.

Metrics measured include duration, completion, holospheres collected, easter eggs found, objects hit, human collisions, fatal drops, and more.

Our solution aims:

EDUCATE the use of Assistive Technology (AT) devices such as sip-and-puff, head-array, joystick) for profficient usage
REMOVE BARRIERS and fear around using wheelchairs
Alow PRACTICE of tricky virtual situations from anywhere
REDUCE ACCIDENTS associated with limited wheelchair handling knowledge, while building confidence and skill level and having fun along the way!

Our solution will:

Provide patients an engaging & informative training program from the comfort of their bed, in their chair, from anywhere (e.g. hospital or at home).
Edutrain and Edutain Our experience is built in close coordination with experts ( SCI & ALS patients, PTs, OTs, Drs, and family members), giving us a deeper and more meaningful knowledge of the naunces required for effective learning, which in turn helps educate while having fun
Promote Community through remote meetings, multiplayer capabilities, and multi-device options, making it easier for self-learning while offering support from prior SCI patients, as well as friends and patients who can log-in remotely

By creating this world (and in times of COVID) using the array of movement Assistive Tech devices combined with our multi-player multi-role options opens the possibility of remote learning, training, assessment, gaming, and so much more:

Virtual is our Future

Art, Sports & Recreation: Virtual worlds for extended purposes such as painting, sports, & group activities
Education & Employment: Use AT for Educational and job-related opportunities
Independent Living: Pave expansion for application and deployment of smart home use
Rehabilitation: Expedite rehab process by practicing anytime, anywhere, with anyone.
Empathy & Flexibility: Use a virtual reality headset OR computer monitor. Patients, nurses, and family members will be able to try, practice, and better appreciate the complexities of wheelchair control and navigation.

How it Works

Our Virtual Wheelchair Training solution integrates assistive technologies such as the sip and puff, head array, and joystick, to facilitate better training to drive a wheelchair in real life.

More access to training turns training into a fun experience, leading to longer training periods and more confidence

5 Steps To Get Started

Contact us for the Trial Version
Download and click install
Plug in your AT
If using VR, plug that into your PC (optional)
Launch program

Our solution is currently in ALPHA mode, so is not suitable for everyone.

We've built the solution in our spare time based on first hand knowledge that this solution is needed.

We are openly looking to secure funding to ensure dedicated resources to finish the project and make a difference in the lives of so many. We will endeavor to complete the project irrespective, but if you can help, please let us know.
