신경성 질병 근위축성측색경화증 (ALS)를 앓는 그래피티 예술가 TEMPT는 머리끝에서 발가락까지 마비되어 눈을 깜빡거려 의사소통을 하게 되었다. TEDActive에서 사업가인 믹 에벨링이 그와 협력팀이 그 예술가와 같은 상황에 처해있는 다른 사람들에게 다시 예술을 할 수 있도록 해준 오픈 소스 발명품을 만들었는지 얘기한다.

믹 에벨링 (Mick Ebeling): 갇힌 예술가를 자유롭게한 발명

A group of collaborators built the EyeWriter, a low-cost, DIY device that lets paralyzed people draw and communicate using only their eyes. Inspired by a renowned graffiti artist who could no longer move or speak after ALS, the team hacked together sunglasses, a PS3 camera, and open-source software in just two weeks. The first time the artist drew again in seven years, he described it as finally being able to breathe. Their creation is free to build and has since gained global recognition and awards.
