I always thought this would be the best way for anyone to operate a mouse. Not just the disabled.



Better than eye-tracking? It's all though-experiment land for me, but when I think about the precision and speed with which I can move and "click" something, nothing beats the eyes.


Maybe. I just think of all the other things that my eyes want to be doing. I figure that would interfere too much in the usefulness. But i agree. We should just test out all the wacky ideas and see what works best.


Great point, maybe that is the weakness in eye tracking. What about a small switch in the mouth you press with your talk, similar to a push-to-talk that activates the eye tracking. When you aren't pressing, you can look around and do other things with your eyes without affecting the computer?

Wish I had the bandwidth to take this on right now, because it sounds super fun and something I could be very passionate about.
