Hi @all!
I am currently searching material, photos and description of systems to control a cursor or pointer with the view on the screen (I think this is called
eye tracking). I'm also looking for systems which use movements not of the view, but of the head (I think this is called
gaze tracking).
Actions would be triggered by pedal, bite switch or masseter switch. Or, some blink pattern (which would also save me from red sore dry eyes).
Constraints on my side:
* I'm keeping a windows free household.
* I wear glasses.
Not being a native english speaker, I'm probably not in possession of the correct technical/medical terms to feed google with in order to yield the desired results.
Things I found:
* "EYCIN" (

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2006/09/060925063601.htm), but most of the articles are already gone, despite the fact that it existed only five years ago.

Thank you for your help!
