Very slick new use for the AVP

Mark, a 64-year old man with #AmyotrophicLateralSclerosis (#ALS), successfully used his direct thoughts to control the cursor on the #Apple #VisionPro when he played Solitaire, watched #AppleTV and sent text messages using the #Synchron brain computer interface, hands-free. Mark is otherwise unable to use the #AppleVisionPro due to the loss of function of his upper limbs. Apple Vision Pro requires hand gestures to make item selections.
