What's New with Seatrac?
“I am working with the U.S.V.I. government in purchasing three Seatrac Movers, which we hope will happen early this summer,” said Don Peters, a paraplegic Army veteran based in St. Croix. “It will be a good tourist draw for wheelchair passengers on cruise lines.”
Brian Bergman, president of TOBEA-West, said beachgoers in the United States will operate an enhanced version of the original Seatrac model. The Seatrac Mover will feature such accessories as an attached joystick instead of a remote control and multiple cameras affixed to the chair to help with visibility and discourage vandalism.
“Seatrac could benefit the more than 3 million wheelchair users and millions more who suffer from other mobility issues, the most prevalent disability in our country,” said Bergman, who was inspired by his late sister-in-law, an avid swimmer with multiple sclerosis.
