ERICA Eye Tracking

Published: Jun 23, 2007

The newly released ERICA computer control system gives users complete control over their computer system solely by using their eye. It enables succesful use of "eye-gaze" and "eye-tracking" as computer control. The system takes under half an hour to install and prepare and can then be used to type and perform other functions successfully.

Initially, the firewire camera is aimed and directed on five spots on the screen - one spot for the focus, and others for four corners. Erected on a tablet PC, the system has full touch-screen capabilities built-in. This makes the system ideal for ALS and for other degenerative issues.

Available for more than $20,000 USD a few years ago, this level of technology is currently available for $7,000 USD.
