Technology At Its Best


The smile says it all. Miss Melissa Belland chats with friends from
all over the world. She uses Microsoft Chat in 'comic strip' mode.

This is the eyegaze system Melissa uses to control her PC. Note the
camera and control screen running alongside her ordinary computer.

Her system also has menus to run different appliances like her TV, VCR,
lights, and telephone. It also speaks for her. She types what she wants
to say, then gazes at the speech mode and it says what she has typed.

This picture is of Melissa using the right monitor as a keyboard to run her 2nd computer.
This system uses an eye tracking infra-red camera to track her eye movements.

Alternatively.... Melissa uses her system as a mouse...
Here she is selecting wavs from MS Chat.
