In our past informal testing of screen sizes that work well with Eyegaze we found that anything under about 12 inches began to provide significant cognitive overload when trying to type.  I found using a keyboard with smaller sizes fatiguing as well when we experimented.

Sorry Amy,
Plane just landed and I got wireless to see emails.

It was very ratifying to try to type.  It is moving in the right direction but  not ready.  I had a person with ALS try it on an iPad just to explore and despite being a good user of an SGD with eye tracking access, she found this laborious.

Yes, we are working with apple accessibility team and they were in our clinic the day this was released so we played then (about a month ago).  It was pretty good but not for fine control.  I have it on my phone!
