This website if for Tobii ATI which is an international assistive technology company that provides communication programs/applications for consumers with disabilities. The programs they produce are meant to provide a speaking device that tracks eye movement when it looks at a certain phrase on a screen. This mission is apparent with the tagline "Independence with an Eye" which is right next to the company logo in the middle of the homepage. The website it set up to provide information about all of the Tobii products and is meant to group their information into various links or tabs that a consumer would have to click through. However the website is very structured and neat it could provide too much information for a consumer. Tobii organizes the website to have a consumer move simultaneously through the tabs near the top to get a better understanding of their products and how it could assist a person with a disability. The Products tab is the clearest on the website since it group every product into a nice group and explains it's function. This is the section that could be the most appealing to a consumer because it shows the product logo, name, and functionality. This tab is best suited to show the consumer the basics of the product they are researching. As a whole the website is very expansive and fitting of an international company. If a consumer is hoping that a Tobii product can help them with an assistive technology need this website would provide lots of information but might not address specific, personal questions. It is a well designed website that provides a wealth of information that could be helpful to some consumers and overwhelming to others.
