Although similar things are not uncommon now, for example, in recent years, non-profit organizations such as E-NABLE have repeatedly launched the "3D printing fake hand for disabled people" activities around the world, but this time the situation is very It is worth paying attention to, because the author of this fake hand, maker Patrick Joyce is actually a disabled person! And to a more serious extent!

Joyce suffers from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, also known as motor neuron disease/MND), also known as the "gradual freezing" disease, which is the same disease as the famous physicist Hawking. It has been almost quadriplegic for the past 8 years. However, after seeing Raimi's father's petition on Facebook, the warrior completed the feat with the eye tracking system and the joystick with the eyeballs and a few fingers of the sport and the incredible perseverance. And his work has already passed the first round of this year's HackadayPrize (a well-known global competition that encourages makers to develop something that will change people's lives) and received a $1,000 prize.
