computer programmers (3)
I should have said the green writing is from Patrick - not me.
I use Head Tracking LEDS for FLight simulators (I made it myself), but the software behind it is called Freetrack, obviously made by others.
Here's an example.
(It's not me lol)
Now... the professional analogue to this is called Track IR. WHich costs a hundred or so Euro. I made mine from nothing and the price of a webcam. haha.
I can only imagine the same thing is happening with this Eyegaze thing. Big company makes it for big money to sell. While from a programming point of view there are already API's availble for face tracking. I guess EYE tracking is the same deal (but harder)

He knows what he wants to do but is looking for computer programmers willing to donate their time & skill to make his idea reality.
If you are a computer programmer with some spare time then read on, if not please could you share this. Since Alistair died I’ve been feeling guilty that I’ve not been doing anything to make a difference. I want to change that. Please share.
The problem.
As you know, I have motor neuron disease , known around the world as ALS, or Lou Gehrig’s disease. MND slowly destroys every muscle in your body apart from your eyes. It takes away your ability to walk, talk, eat and breathe. It is always fatal.
Most people with MND lose the use of their voice and their hands and spend the last months of their lives entirely unable to communicate.
I am looking for software developers who would be willing to work with me for free on a small software project. If you are a programmer with
There is technology available to help with this situation. Called eyegaze, it is a hardware/software combination that tracks the movement of your eyes and allows you to operate a mouse and communication software.
All eyegaze systems use very complicated and clever hardware to see where your eyes are looking on a computer screen. Because they are so complicated they are very, very expensive, systems starting at about £5000.
It is possible to get an eyegaze system if you live in the UK, but it takes many months to get funding, and MND moves quickly. Most people never get it at all, and die unable to communicate with their loved ones. Outside of the richer countries of course, for 95% of the world, eyegaze would be out of the question.
The Solution.
I've had an idea. A good one.
If you could help find someone or can help it would be great. thanks for reading.
