Cool Smart Cap For Disabled Kids

A “smart” cap that allows disabled children to “drive” radio-controlled cars and boats, has been launched.

The Dream-Racer device has four motion sensors that detect small movements of the head, which are then fed wirelessly to control the toy’s direction.

The UK invention has also been adapted to allow disabled people to play games on Sony’s PlayStation consoles.

The technology was originally designed for a five-year-old boy who was paralysed in a car crash.
