Write a letter with your eyes

Scientists from Cambridge Uni in the UK have created a method that makes it possible to write using your eyes. The method is quite genious, and they have a demo ready for everyone to try. Myself I was pretty impressed with the teqnique. Of course I don't have the eye-camera that is needed in the real application, but in the demo it's possible to use the mouse instead. But you still get the impression it would work even with a camera attached to your eye. This must be something like a breakthorugh for peole with movement disabilites!

...could also revolutionize text entry on handhelds

Could be, but I wouldn't be comfortable with walking around with a camera on my head! :) But the tecnique is probably faster than using one of them touch-screens with handwriting recognition. (I never found them very usable anyway...)

Kewl, this would acctualy help alot of people, but I think they may have to put a filter on it, some people don't have 'Full' controle of their eye's so they may quiver or shake....still nice idea...

Not the people with "Locked-In" Syndrome can speak again :)

This is one of the coolest applications I've seen. What an efficient method of transcription!

man man.. where the technology will end.. really great.. thanks for sharing..

Very cool.Sort of like the cannon on the apache gunships.I'm glad to see the idea used for a better purpose.
