Paralyzed Receive Ability to Communicate and Create Art Through Non Profit's EyeWriter Design

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) November 01, 2011

After meeting a graffiti artist with Lou Gehrigs Disease named Tempt, business owner, executive producer and humanitarian, Mick Ebeling made a conscious decision that has changed the lives of those affected by paralysis. A leader in forward thinking who is active in developing and discovering world-renowned design and directing collectives including the Not Impossible Foundation (NIF) and the Ebeling Group (TEG), Ebeling has accessed his creative task forces to design a unique device called the EyeWriter, a practical solution that anyone has access to create, using a YouTube tutorial video, a pair of eyeglasses and a digital camera. The Eyewriter allows people suffering from neuromuscular diseases and paralysis to draw, design, and create, but most of all - communicate by using their eyes.


Raised in a family of entrepreneurs and philanthropists, Ebelings first non-profit organization was an LA Unified School System backed venture that exposed inner city kids to latest technologies and paired them with elite Hollywood post-production mentors, called Digital Groove. Recognizing the importance of social responsibility, with his EyeWriter project, Ebeling more recently launched the Not Impossible Foundation (NIF) an emerging non-profit organization devoted to making the impossible become possible, when the right people are connected and empowered. NIF is comprised of thinkers, dreamers, and doers fusing imagination and technology to develop creative solutions for real-world problems.


Ebelings career began in the production and animation industry with one of the first ever Mac-based design companies. Five years later, he launched his own commercial film, design and animation production company, The Ebeling Group (TEG). With locations in both New York and Los Angeles, TEG has been recognized for their Grammy nominated music videos, Sundance feature films, and award-winning branded content for the gaming arena as well as for Fortune 100 brands such as Diesel, Coca-Cola, and Nike. Made up of artists in their own right, TEG is well connected to the graffiti community a creativity and art they respect and admire.


After befriending an ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis also referred to as Lou Gehrigs Disease) patient and renown street artist named Tempt, Ebeling embarked on one of the most rewarding chapters in his career with the creation of the EyeWriter. When he learned of his story of paralysis, Ebeling and his team felt compelled to assist and sponsor Tempt. Ebelings NIF partners defined Tempts situation, brainstormed solutions and established a clear direction: create a lightweight, low-cost, portable device for art and communication and make it available to anyone who needs it. The EyeWriter was conceived.


NIFs long-term goal is to create a global professional/social network of software developers, hardware hackers, urban projection artists, and ALS patients from around the world who will use local materials and open-source research to creatively connect and make eye art. Some of the international initiatives financed by NIF have lead to the creation of ongoing projects such as in Mumbai and the MumbaiWriter, where they have blogged their progress haggling prices and building the EyeWriter from local materials.


With its creation and success, Mick Ebeling and the EyeWriter have achieved noteworthy press and several appearances including TED: Ideas Worth Spreading. Ebeling and the EyeWriter project have also been honored at Advertising Age and Creativitys 2010 as well as recognition in Time Magazines The 50 Best Inventions of 2010.


Ebeling continues his creative achievements with The Ebeling Group as well as spreading the word about the EyeWriter and message of the Not Impossible Foundation; all the while raising the very important questions: If not now, then when? If not me, then who?


That was the first time Ive drawn anything in seven years. I feel like I had been held under water, and someone finally reached down, and pulled my head up so I could take a breath. Tempt

Be Part of the Boom! New York and Toronto Web Design Experts Launch Flash to HTML5 Conversion Service

Markham, ON (PRWEB) September 28, 2011

ITW Consulting, the leading New York and Toronto web design firm, has announced its commitment to format websites utilizing HTML5 language. With HTML5, mobile browsers can now get richer applications and improved interactivity, animations and experience. The language could fundamentally replace Adobe patented Flash technology and make it irrelevant in this revolutionizing world of Information Technology.


The path to the future has been clearly paved. It is expected that more than 2.1 billion mobile browsers will be utilizing HTML5 by the year 2016. Compared to the 109 million mobile browsers utilizing the program in 2010, this is a significant increase. Leading the market in this direction are Facebook and Google, who have begun to compose their web pages in the HTML5 language.


Website access is automatic with HMTL5. Up until now, internet users have had the option to integrate fluid animations, social network websites and streamed videos with the help of downloaded Flash plug-in tools. HTML5, on the other hand, does not require the plug-ins and will automatically give users the access they need.


ITW Consulting is also pleased to announce that consumers will no longer have to download applications for their mobile devices when utilizing HTML5 and its compatible products. HTML5 will give users the automatic access on iPhones, iPods, iPads and other mobile devices.


Our frustrations are essentially eliminated. We no longer need to fear customers being turned away by failed plug-ins. As the leading New York and Toronto website design firm, ITW Consulting is willing to help translate websites using language computers and mobile browsers can easily recognize.
