It will provide new training opportunities to those who are learning how to drive by offering driving insights to therapists and caregivers. It can also help clinical researchers studying various aspects of wheelchair use such as activity and participation. In addition, it can widen powered wheelchair access to those who are currently excluded due to visual, cognitive, and/or motor impairments.
