Individuals successfully utilizing eye gaze technologies are adults and children, including those with various low-incidence disabilities such as cerebral palsy (CP), spinal cord injuries (SCI), acquired brain injuries (ABI), ALS, multiple sclerosis (MS), brainstem strokes, muscular dystrophy (MD), Werdnig Hoffman syndrome, and Rett Syndrome. Eye gaze systems are being used in homes, offices, schools, hospitals, and other environments. One significant advantage of eye gaze access is that it is a direct access method, with no intermediary steps involved in making a selection, thus potentially speeding access, while increasing accuracy and rate within applications the individual requires across environments and over time.
