I think really this eye writer will helps the people who is suffering from ALS . I have heard about his before, Its a low-cost eye-tracking apparatus & custom software that allows graffiti writers and artists with paralysis resulting from Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis to draw using only their eyes.

I’m pretty sure the sound bite at the end of the song is from an interview with P.O.S.

Great video and great to see people out there having such a strong affect on people’s lives.

Amazing project, by the way. Such a simple and intuitive concept, and well-implemented.

Many have pointed that out in the past with other eyetracking setups (whatever happened to the OpenEyes project?), but others have made a good point- the IR from the sun while outside is far more than these put on the eye.

The best solution I’ve seen to settle the issue is have a momentary switch control IR on/off to only trigger ON when people want it on. This could be done with the tongue for the disabled.

All in all, great hack! I’m still waiting for an actual article linking eye tracking to controlling a servo- I have visions of controlling a tilt-pan servo pod turret for airsoft this way.

IR does not trigger the eye to blink in defense. What strength is safe?
