Switch-It
Vigo Gives Power Wheelchair Users Wireless Head Control
Unlike traditional head-control units that rely on sensors in the
headrest to control the wheelchair, the Vigo is a wireless headset
that responds when you tilt your head. It's designed to give users
an intuitive way to operate their power wheelchairs. Switching
modes on the Vigo also lets you use it as a controller to interact
with computers, smart phones or tablets, or as a Bluetooth headset
for receiving calls.
