About Eyeharp
About Eyeharp
What is Eyeharp?
EyeHarp is a gaze-controlled or head-controlled digital musical instrument. It allows people with disabilities to learn and to play music without barriers. Designed with musicality in mind, EyeHarp offers the same expressive qualities as any traditional instrument.
About Eyeharp
How does it work?
Eyeharp musicians only need to install the software and use it with their Eyetracker, that is a special camera that monitors eye movements. With these two things, musicians can play beautiful melodies simply by looking at the notes on the screen.
About Eyeharp
Who is it for?
Eyeharp is best suited for people with disabilities who want to play music, for music therapists who use it with their clients, and for music teachers who have students with disabilities.
We offer training for professionals on a regular basis.

What people are saying about Eyeharp
Eyeharp is a very important instrument for my life because I always wanted to play music. Since I was little I had that goal, to play music. It is an innovative instrument, great and very fresh, I mean it is new and can be played by anyone who wants.
Joel Bueno
12 year old student with cerebral palsy
EyeHarp is a creative and joyful instrument for Joel. It helps him learn and develop musical language, enhances his concentration, memory and rhythm. It has opened doors for us to social activities, to interact and empathize with other people, and of course to enjoy music.

Joel's mother
I have had the opportunity to try EyeHarp and see the work that Zacharias Vamvakousis does with people with motor disabilities, and I think it is an absolutely innovative, unique, and extremely useful tool. It enables people with severe physical difficulties to access playing music in a way that would not be possible without having a tool as advanced as the EyeHarp. As a professional, I recommend using EyeHarp and experimenting with this tool, which can open new possibilities for us, and give us access to patients with something that will definitely improve their quality of life.
Adriana Fasani
Music Therapist
EyeHarp is an amazing application, suitable for all levels of physical or mental disability. It offers great motivation and better accessibility than many low or high tech devices and software. The satisfaction and joy for the end user while creating sounds, rhythm, and music is immense. It is a great tool for all occupational therapists, with easy access and great benefits for all patients.
Polyvios Mylonas
pediatric occupational therapist
EyeHarp is an excellent tool that helps to bring music and its benefits to the people of functional diversity. I never imagined that one day I would get to play music with my eyes! Music is opening the door to a fantastic world. Music needs to be within everyone's reach, and EyeHarp does it!

Leo likes to learn music with the EyeHarp from the comfort of his bed, calm, focused and enjoying himself. The whole family participates in this magical moment: his brother hums, his grandmother and I cheer, his father and grandfather each listen from their place in the house. Music unites us. We are grateful for EyeHarp and Zacharias.
