"The way to take over an industry is not to fix the current model, but to completely destroy it and replace it with a model you know is better" Open source is the better model for every single industry. It's coming.
Do you think open source fine art is better than one from a single artist's vision?
This is amazing software, but will it work with me? My left eye is a glass eye and it has little to no movement.
The author seems to be responsive, but the Reddit thread got /r/bestof'd so he's probably RIP Inbox'd. And he's a new dad. Might be worth a followup in a few days if he doesn't get back to you beforehand.
I hope it meets your needs though!
Edit: He's also in this thread!

Art has been quite open source in its workings since centuries. Look at how artists were joining masters to learn the art and how they "forked" masters' techniques to create theirs. Personal vision is not precluded from open source, to the contrary it is encouraged.
From the get started page "If you are unsure which computer/laptop/tablet to purchase and are considering spending a lot of money then please email me - I can offer personal advice on how to target the sweet spot between cost and performance (and screen size)." So not only is he giving away this amazing software but he is also offering free, personal advice on what you need to buy working with your budget! Truly an i…

Furthermore, companies which would lose more profit than hard-to-monetize goodwill gained, by releasing something their competitors can use against them, has as much chance as an airplane made of lead.
Open source can help sell small products get initial traction but it makes them easy to knock-off and easy to steal (unless you make the build process hard and fragile)... It just won't scale because human nature.

This tool is for people who can't use their hands, of course. For the average person, we're pretty close to being able to use voice instead of typing. https://www.extrahop.com/blog/2014/programming-by-voice-stay... http://ergoemacs.org/emacs/using_voice_to_code.html Throw in eye tracking and precise gestures ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QNiZfSsPc0 ) and the keyboard isn't necessary.
Instead of coming home from the office with Carpal Tunnel we'll be coming home with hoarse voices. Color me skeptical.
Can someone elaborate on the use of eye trackers in dark rooms (rooms lightened by dimmed lights or only the monitor itself)? Does it work?
My mom has ALS and has an eye tracker. The camera is infrared and shows up based on any light in the room. From looking at the tracking software it seems to calculate contrast between the retina and the surrounding eye to track what it is looking at.
In the demo, he was quick and he didn't even seem to use much autocompletion. However, I wonder if using a different keyboard layout would be helpful. Dvorak a Colmak, for example, place the more frequently used letters on the home row so you'll spend more time with your eyes there. You can evaluate different layouts with a tool like this: http://patorjk.com/keyboard-layout-analyzer/
I wonder if it really matters with your eyes vs. your hands and fingers. Flicking your gaze around the keyboard seems much easier than moving your fingers around - you'll never have two fingers hitting each other. And on the other end of the speed spectrum, it seems like it's unlikely that this will ever quite be as quick as operating even a QWERTY keyboard with fully functional hands.
