As people with disabilities assimilate into all aspects of everyday life, their needs and demands expand.
Oded Ben Dov — a tech guru who got his start programming video games — learned the struggle that people with disabilities face simply from doing his job. His journey commenced when developing a video game that, instead of being controlled by users’ hands, was controlled by their vision.
The day after the game went public, Ben Dov got a phone call from a man who told him: “I can’t move my hands or legs. Can you make me a smartphone I could use” After receiving this call, Ben Dov embarked upon a new passion. This call led him to found Sesame Enable, a company based in Israel that sells Android smartphones for people who can’t use their hands.
