Controlling Computers with Eyegaze Control

This won't be interesting to most of you but I stuck it here so I can point other MND sufferers here if they want a demonstration of what is possible using eyegaze computer.
I have recently written a presentation and recorded a video for two UK conferences where Sensory Software (who write the multi award winning Grid 2 software) will present it on my behalf. Hopefully the full presentation will be online soon, but here is the video on which it was based.



Hopefully it will show anyone considering eyegaze what is possible. I didn't include environmental control such as TV and DVD operation although I use this.
I use a bespoke setup. The computer is a Sahara Slate i440t PC from TabletKiosk,

the eyegaze system is from Alea Technologies,

the environmental control infrared transmitter is a TIRA module via USB, SMS messaging is done using Sierra Aircard 880 (sticking out of the top ). The tablet has a second battery pack and Sensory Software provide an amplification unit called a Powerbox 6 and a frame to bolt it together.

I sourced the mounting system and wheelchair power supply from another UK company.

I use Dameware software for remote access. It allows you to create an executable file which you run on other computers on your network. Once run you have permanent remote access rights even after a restart. It costs around £80 but it works well and I would highly recommend it.
