    I'd mod you up if I could.

    There is LOTS of eye tracking software out there. Just do a Google for 'eyetracking software' and there are lots of hits, far too many for me to list here.

    just as an example is here http://www.eyetechds.com/partn... but there are many many more. Even open source.

    Late to the party and AC on top, but here you go: Stenography keyboard!

    And to replace the mouse: Eye tracking!

  3. Re:$7k?! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on Tobii Releases Eye-Controlled Mouse For PCs

    Not quite. The Tobii system is a Pukinji image eyetracker/gazetracker. This requires capturing high resolution images of the eyes. Off axis IR illuminators are required to provide the glint. A $20 webcam will not have nearly the resolution or sensitivity needed for this application. Most commercial systems either roll their own camera or use a $1K+ PointGrey camera.

    The gaze trackers referenced elsewhere herein are headtrackers not gazetrackers. They track the orientation of the users head, not where their eyes are fixated. So if you face forward but look to your left, the system will consider you looking forward, not left. More here:

    This company makes similar gazetracker/eyetracker to the Tobeii unit:

    There's starting to be a number of replacements for traditional controls. There's eye tracking products, software solutions, and a variety of hardware replacements like a Wacom tablet.

    What Apple is really up to is combining this this this and this so that when Photoshop 8 comes out, we will actually be able to use it.

  6. Eye tracking alternatives by no_opinion · · Score: 1 · on Review of Hands Free Mouse

    I worked in a lab that provided computer access technologies (braille printers, keyboard and mouse alternatives, voice control, puff switches, etc.) for people with disabilities and there are some pretty cool technologies out there.

    When I started we had a head mouse but now there are a few eye tracking alternatives:
    Eyegaze from LC technologies, Eyecan, and Eyetech. I'm sure there are more out there.
