When Stephen Hawking has something to say about the mysteries of physics and the universe, we all listen carefully. Unfortunately, her long battle with Lou Gehrig's disease continues and gets worse, as their ability to communicate is deteriorating. For that reason, the guys at Intel have decided to help.
Currently, Hawking uses a complex system that uses sensors to tics and recreate words that are then translated by a speech synthesizer.
So far it has worked well, but due to increasingly weak condition the system is becoming inefficient. When Stephen asked the help of Intel, the company's CTO, Justin Rattner, decided to take over the issue.
Your idea is a system that is more sensitive to facial expressions and movements. The new platform will also use Hawkings perform movements with his mouth and his eyebrows, which would allow him to communicate about 10 times faster. Combine that with a system similar to Morse code, communication would become much more fluid.
Obviously, to be successful this system could also be used by other people with similar problems.
