At the University of Adelaide (Australia) one of the Researchers has developed
a device called "CEDRIC" which determines where on a screen a users eye is
directed. This is used to enable severly handicapped to interface to a computer
and possibly voice synthesis software. The user selects words from screen menus,
or letters if the word is not available, to form sentences or instructions to
the computer.

This summary is of the work about 12 months previous. If there is interest I
can contract the person involved, Andrew Downing, for more details. To my
knowledge this is a product that is already marketed but I am not certain of
this.

e-mail to me for further information if required.
