Tobii, a Swedish company that specializes in eye-tracking hardware and software added this little gem to their arsenal in March. It's the latest product to come from Tobii, which produces a line of eye-tracking equipment, some of which is used for purposes of Web research.
The MyTobii has a keyboard, which is represented on the screen. Selections are made using "dwell time," which is the length of time someone looks at an object on the screen, said Tobii Executive Vice President John Elvesjo.
The eye-controlled computer is specially designed for people with disabilities such as cerebral palsy, ALS, multiple sclerosis, and brain and spinal injuries.
Unit cost $17,000 each and are sold through distributors and resellers in the U.S., Sweden, Norway, Germany and England.
