I think so too.   This is awesome and an added bonus if the person you working with is a Mac lover!  The major downside at the moment is lack of funding if you are not a veteran or cannot afford to private pay.  However despite this we have had both veterans and non-veterans with ALS in the state of VA get this device.  We have quite a few success stories including someone who is locked in with his last known movement ability being in his toe, and even some that previously had fairly new eye gaze devices that were no longer working for them due to a change in their eyes.  Here is a link to check out.  The videos on this page are great!

I think this device will be one to keep our eyes on as they are seeking to get it approved for funding.

Hi-
The NeuroSwitch from Control Bionics is not eyegaze, but it runs on a Mac. It may be worth looking at.
Thanks,
Sara

Subject: Eye gaze for Mac

Have a client who truly needs eye gaze and absolutely refuses to explore PC based eye gaze technologies. Insists on wanting to stay with Mac.

Have found eye gaze system from LC Technologies and they may do home demo for her. Anyone know of other Mac-compatible eye gaze options?

Thanks in advance.

Julia
