Redefining Connection: Mobility at Eye Level with The Centaur

Personal mobility is not just about moving from one place to another. It’s about connection, participation, and feeling present in every moment. For too long, mobility devices have created a physical barrier, placing users at a different height and making simple, face to face interactions a challenge. The Centaur changes that by putting you at the heart of the conversation.

Fiona shares that, when using her wheelchair, people often bend down, crouch, or drop to their knees just to have a conversation with her. While their intentions are kind, it makes things awkward for everyone involved. “I just think, look, just stand up,” she says, “I don’t want you to ruin your knees just to talk to me.” Yet when people stand, she feels comfortable, but they still feel awkward about the interaction.

The Centaur’s most transformative feature – the ability to elevate you to eye level—changes this dynamic completely. Now, Fiona can meet people face to face, making interactions more natural and relaxed for everyone. This is especially powerful in her work, which involves networking and talking with people at hospitality venues. By enabling authentic, eye-level conversation, the Centaur makes it easier to connect and participate fully in professional and social life.

This simple change has a profound impact. It fosters genuine connection, whether you’re networking at a professional event, chatting with friends at a gathering, or simply engaging with family at home. It’s about being seen as a person, not defined by a chair.

By enabling eye-level interaction, the Centaur helps break down social barriers and promotes a greater sense of inclusivity and confidence. It’s more than just a mobility device; it’s a tool for connection.
