Wheelchair control via smart glasses for greater independence

"At Munevo, we rethink mobility. Our vision is to give people with disabilities more freedom and independence," says Claudiu Hidas, CEO of munevo. "With Munevo DRIVE, we offer an innovative solution that enables users to control their powered wheelchair solely through head movements. We use technology that removes barriers and makes everyday life noticeably easier – for more self-determination and quality of life."

The combination of smart glasses and intuitive control software makes Munevo DRIVE particularly appealing for people who cannot use their hands, or can do so only to a limited extent. The system allows precise control without additional physical effort and adapts flexibly to different needs.

Stable connection between Munevo DRIVE and the wheelchair
Enhanced driving experience through more precise control and greater manoeuvrability

Software update with voice control
