Re:Connect

Product Introduction

1. Re:Connect is a webcam-based eye-tracking software that enables text dictation and communication through eye movements without requiring specialized hardware. It transforms standard laptop or PC webcams into accessibility tools using computer vision and machine learning algorithms.
2. The core value lies in democratizing assistive technology by eliminating the need for expensive eye-tracking hardware, offering a free tier with research-grade accuracy, and ensuring full privacy through local browser processing.

Main Features

1. Re:Connect operates exclusively through webcams, supporting any built-in or USB camera on Windows 10+, macOS 10.14+, or Linux systems with modern browsers like Chrome 88+ or Firefox 85+.
2. All data processing occurs locally in the user’s browser, ensuring GDPR compliance and preventing video or personal data from being transmitted to external servers.
3. The system requires no installation, achieves full functionality within 30 seconds via a 4-point calibration process, and delivers 30 FPS real-time tracking with <100ms latency for responsive text input.

Problems Solved

1. Re:Connect addresses the prohibitive cost of traditional eye-tracking hardware, which typically ranges from $2,000 to $10,000, by providing comparable functionality at no cost for basic usage or $25/month for premium features.
2. It serves individuals with motor disabilities, speech impairments, or conditions like ALS who require assistive communication tools, as well as professionals needing hands-free text input.
3. Typical scenarios include composing emails or documents through eye gaze, operating interfaces without physical input devices, and enabling caregivers to configure communication systems rapidly.

Unique Advantages

1. Unlike hardware-dependent solutions, Re:Connect requires no specialized equipment and works across operating systems with only a webcam and browser, reducing entry barriers by 90% compared to traditional setups.
2. The AI-powered voice customization adapts to individual speaking styles, while smart text correction and adjustable time offsets optimize accuracy and typing speed based on user behavior.
3. Competitive advantages include eight years of R&D expertise from RealEye, peer-reviewed validation through 20+ scientific publications, and offline functionality after initial setup for uninterrupted use.
