Great work. I wonder if the author had heard of the Eyewriter project [1]? Similar system, fully open source, but I'm not sure how active development is nowadays. It's been up since ~2011, though, so quite old by software standards (uses openFrameworks/openCV). Still, it worked impressively well when I built a derivative system. The accessibility space needs as much open-source development as possible - most of the c…

Open source is the better model for every single industry. It's coming.
I have been using voicecode.io (with dragon naturally speaking) and IR head tracking so that I don't have to use my hands for anything now with pretty good success. The head tracking mouse has a much smaller learning curve, but programming by voice has been rewarding as well.

This is amazing software, but will it work with me? My left eye is a glass eye and it has little to no movement.

Has anyone gotten the other solutions to work? I've been collecting my notes but I haven't gotten around to it. http://thespanishsite.com/public_html/org/ergo/programming_b...
This could be a really nice keyboard interface for VR too.
As it progresses, input devices will need to evolve quite a bit since it won't always be convenient to have a full-size keyboard, and part of the value of having a screen on your eyes vs. in your hand is that it frees up your hands for other things. Being able to use slight muscle gestures (ala "Rainbow's End" by Vernor Vinge) in combination with eye-tracking, audio controls, etc. seems like a logical leap until we can decode brainwaves sufficiently to use that as input.
I imagine something that shows a swipe-style keyboard overlaid on screen with your current finger position is also a likely solution.
That said, my big beef with this seems to be forcing a traditional keyboard layout on screen that takes up a massive amount of screen real estate. Would much prefer thinking outside of the traditional keyboard layout and making better use of space.

Re: META People will stop posting to a community when they feel their posts aren't up to what they believe the community tends to accept as Par for the course.
That's my impression as well.

Do you think open source fine art is better than one from a single artist's vision?

The way posts work on HN is a bit puzzling and not immediately obvious - I'll post something and then refresh the front page and won't even see it. The Reddit model seems simpler - I post something and it appears.
