European power wheelchairs in Germany, Nederlands and Italy -Freelz installed-

[James Lee]

Freelz could be installed to several power wheelchairs in Europe. VR2 controller is one of the widely-used joystick controller in the market. We couls install our Freelz-VR2 controller to the power wheelchairs, and it proved excellent functions to support the driving functions. Followings are the examples.

A. Power wheelchair from Bishop and Bishop : About 10 people tried to drive it using Freelz headset.

7 people could drive it easily after 3~5 minutes practice. Seomr people had dificulties from leveled teeth arrangements or

too much hairs on the forehead. Hairs on temporal muscles can bother the function as it is non-conductive.  

B+B product was very good for this demo.

     

B. Power wheelchair from Permobil : I visited a gentlemen in Vught, Nedelands. He is in my father's age.

Mentally very strong, and eager to do many things. We were happy to let him try to drive the power wheelchair by remote way.

As this is demo product, it didn't satisfy all of his requirements, but he was happy to drive it by using headset.

Customized power wheelchair and our Freelz controller will make him drive everywhere he want to go.

Permobil power wheelchair is very nice and well-trimed. The model we used was front-wheel drive power wheelchair which is useful to drive over the obstacles and gapped areas.

C. Power wheelchair from Vassilli : Vassilli is making many high-quality power wheelchairs.

With Freelz, those can extend supportability to the heavily handcapped people. One of the manager drived it very easily.

It is not a wonder that many people can drive it with short time practice. We even have hands-free mouse and games for users to practice the driving. 

From the trip to many countries in Europe, we could learn many things from different people.

This is a very innovative world-first EMG control power wheelchair product, but  it needs more

various ways of supports to existing control devices.

Until the day of barrier-free, we will do our best with EMG control technology.
