> EyeDraw is a research project at the   University of Oregon that  
> enables
> users to draw pictures   solely with the use of their eyes. The  
> project started in
>   the summer of 2003.
>
> An eye   tracker is used to detect eye   movements and that data is
> interpreted by the application in   order to allow users to click on  
> buttons, choose
> starting   and ending points, and save and retrieve drawings.
>
> The picture to the right shows an   early version of EyeDraw and a  
> drawing
> created by one of its developers. The challenge is to provide an  
> intuitive and
> plausible way for users to intentionally place shapes on the    
> canvas. This
> requires the program to distinguish between   when a user is  
> "looking" and when
> they are   "drawing."

>
> The Target Group:
>
> EyeDraw is being designed for  children   and teenagers with severe
> mobility impairments. Although other software exists for   them to  
> type and read, a
> drawing program will be new for these users.
