Video testimony of eating tools being used

The Eating tool was one of the original products conceptualized. The eating tool in the video is a simple clever mechanical interface between the human hand and a utensil. Its purpose is to change how forces are transmitted from the hand to the spoon/fork so people with limited dexterity can still control the utensil.

This device is essentially a hand-mounted utensil similar to how a drill chuck holds a drill bit, but adapted to human ergonomics. It turns the hand into a stable tool holder rather than requiring precise finger manipulation.
