Episode 1108: Zacharias Vamvakousis, EyeHarp Developer

The idea for the EyeHarp was born in 2010, when a musician friend of Zacharias Vamvakousis was involved in a serious motorcycle accident, and it was unclear if he would be able to play music ever again. At that time, Zacharías realized that there was no musical instrument accessible for quadriplegic people, and he began developing the Eyeharp. Eyeharp is a social project with the mission of improving the quality of life of people with disabilities through music. EyeHarp is the first musical instrument that allows people with disabilities to learn and play music with gaze or with head movements.
