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.
R&B, EDM, pop and so on wouldnt have much left without remixes and sampling.

I wonder if a version of this for mobile phones could make typing on a phone faster than fumbling with a touch screen.
Mmmm... that was a great deal slower than me using the latest Android swiping support, even counting errors. Can't speak to the other mobile tech stacks, but if you're typing on a phone is slower than that you might want to poke around, you may be missing a technology already installed on it. (Not a criticism of the excellent work here. It's a fundamental bandwidth problem.) Concretely: In the time the demo took to w…

I have a Tobii EyeX and it has the option to track a single eye. You would basically need to set it to track just your right eye, which is a piece of cake in the config (on Windows at least).
And if OptiKey doesn't support it yet, open an issue on github! :)
I wonder if you can combine this with Vim so that you could use it for lightning fast cursor movement and selections and still use the keyboard for anything else.
The trackers he listed have an accuracy of about 0.3-0.5 degree which at a distance of 50cm to the screen still maps to a fairly large area of about 50x50 pixel (depending on screen resolution and PPI). That's far too big to guess where you want your cursor to be placed.
Moreover, the fact that you'll see the cursor moving creates a loop in which you will follow the delayed cursor around with your gaze.

No you're right. Dexterous fingers beats eye tracking for text input, but my target audience can't use their hands so this is (hopefully) a good alternative.

"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.
It's not a panacea. Open source software is nice when it doesn't put contibutors into the poor house while corporations depend on the code at large-scale and don't support what they take. Open source software is great for SDKs and other supporting materials, but Github and Google aren't going to make their core infrastructure available to all... it defies common sense. Furthermore, companies which would lose more pro…

For visual search I would disregard keyboards entirely and go alphabetical: A b c d E f g h I j k l m n O p q r s t U v x y z.
Arranged in a clock face perhaps?
