EyeCan originated in 2019 at the Holon Institute of Technology's Department of Industrial Design by Tomer Etinger and Amit Fisher. They focused on "inclusive design" during a Leonardo da Vinci-centered exercise, creating water-related products for diverse populations.
The project was inspired by the challenges faced by visually impaired pool swimmers and the elderly in sports. In 2022, EyeCan Tech was established with support from the Israel Paralympic Committee. This partnership strengthened their commitment to developing innovative solutions for accessibility and inclusion in sports.
