While my parents were in town, my dad generously offered to buy me an iPad. I politely declined, telling him I didn’t see the point in owning an iPad if I couldn’t use it myself. But if this eye-tracking software for smartphones and tablets becomes a reality, I may have to reconsider his offer. The video demonstration for the software looks promising, but promotional videos always present their products in the best light. Eye-tracking systems already are in use by people with disabilities, but they’re limited to desktop computers.
Like I keep saying, I’d love to be untethered from my circa-1990 assistive technology. I’m just waiting for the right product to appear.
