Computer with Eye-Tracking Device

As discussed in class, eye-tracking devices are still not available for all consumers. A new laptop has been manufactured by Lenovo that measures eye movement. Certain programs on the computer could be controlled by eye movement, but the size of the computer is unsatisfying. The laptop's screen becomes dim when it senses that nobody is looking at it and brightens when it does. Nevertheless, I think it will be helpful for those people who are not able to use their hands.

  1. I think this is a great idea like you said with people who are not able to use their hands. For instance, my grandma has a computer and she has really bad arthritis and it hurts when she is typing because she writes stories. Also I think could be good for software engineers who are in high risk for carpal tunnel syndrome and this idea could help prevent this.
