Region's first interactive showroom for people of determination launched

The Zayed Higher Organisation for People of Determination (ZHO) has launched the first interactive showroom of its kind in the Middle East, at its headquarters in Al Bahia, Abu Dhabi.

The new interactive showroom marks a new step towards supporting people of determination and promotes innovation in assistive technology and includes several zones, such as the Innovation Zone, Education Zone, and Hospitality Zone.

These areas will showcase a wide range of innovative products that facilitate daily life for individuals and businesses.

Among these products is the non-surgical hearing device "HEARNU," which uses bone conduction technology to assist individuals with hearing impairments. Other innovative technologies designed to support the needs of people of determination in various fields will also be showcased.

The showroom's Autism Virtual Reality Experience,  provides non-autistic individuals with a unique opportunity to experience the sensory challenges faced by people on the autism spectrum. This immersive experience relies on advanced technology to give participants a deeper understanding of the daily challenges faced by individuals with autism, increasing community awareness and fostering empathy for this group. 

This initiative is being launched in collaboration with "Topland," which played a key role in providing the advanced technological solutions that form the foundation of this interactive showroom. This collaboration reflects both parties' commitment to achieving a shared vision aimed at empowering People of Determination through modern technology.

Through this interactive showroom, ZHO aims to promote innovation in assistive technology, enabling people of determination to live independently and actively participate in society. In addition to showcasing products, the educational zones will provide workshops and training sessions to help individuals and their families use the technology effectively in their daily lives.
