Non-invasive wearables are transforming device control. Canadian tech company AAVA has developed hands- and voice-free glasses and headbands, and earbuds to help users control their smartphones, computers and gaming consoles with a simple movement of their head or by blinking.

The technology interprets brain and bio-signals for tracking user attention, facial gestures and eye movement. The creators say that the devices can be used by everyone, including  those experiencing mobility and speech challenges.

AAVAA’s smart wearables are now available to purchase online.
