Gareth Walkom, Founder of withVR, utilizes virtual reality as a tool for speech disorders to better prepare individuals for speaking situations. Since 2015, Gareth has developed various applications, producing VR tools featuring on TV, podcasts, and other media worldwide. His past research has shown how eye-tracking in VR can be used as an objective tool for speech-language pathologists and researchers to quantify the eye behaviors of people with speech disorders. Gareth's motivation behind withVR is not only his past research but also the fact that he stutters himself.
