Eye Tracking as a Help for People with Disabilities

Eye Tracking Technology Allows Paralyzed People to Communicate Independently
Jeba Christy | August 10, 2015
Scientists at the University of California, San Diego are developing high-tech assistive technology to help individuals with disabilities. Using the most advanced ubiquitous computing technologies, the project will look into helping people facing a wide variety of challenges.

One of the early prototypes developed by Weibel and his team is EyeHome. The EyeHome system links together independent eye-controlled applications, much like the home screen on a smartphone. Source: http://www.jacobsschool.ucsd.edu/news/news_releases/release.sfe?id=1785
