That sounds like Dasher (https://dasher.acecentre.net/about/), invented by the late David MacKay.

Yep, thanks!

Wow that was quick, thanks!
Have imagined a music theory/improvisation practice program that looks something like Dasher + Guitar Hero.

#145My three partners and I have be developing and selling multi-camera arrays specifically for eye tracking as well as measuring other physiological features for several years now. Our main customers are a couple university research groups, a human factors group in Lockheed, and just recently the US Air Force. In fact we just returned from a trip to Wright-Patterson installing an array in a hypobaric chamber to perform…
Have you thought about settinng up a subsidiary that licenses your base tech for a reasonable royalty fee and raise capital for the subsidiary to develop a medical product from it?
The risk and part of the returns there are for the investors. While it will generate additional revenue (and diversification) for your bootstrapped company allowing you to keep building and mitigate some of the risk of having a narrow (military) client base.
And if it becomes a major success (sounds like pg thinks that's possible) you'll co-own it.

#146I hear the Apple Vision Pro has a good implementation. If this were Microsoft, you'd be able to find the details in the Microsoft Research website.

#148Earlier quoted context omitted.
I used to work on it and have spent tons of time in the headset. The eye tracking is next-level and it's really the only platform that exists with eye tracking as a primary input method. I'm pretty confident it will greatly improve your friend's quality of life. Because of that, I'm also sure that eye tracking will go mainstream in other areas once the Vision Pro is released once everyone else catches on to it as a g…
This is pretty much exactly why I vehemently disagree with Apple's decision to draw such a firm line in the sand preventing devs from accessing the eye/gaze data directly. I'm part of an academic spin-off start-up that specializes in analyzing gaze and movement data. Locking the gaze information outside of the app sandbox severely hampers the ability to quickly iterate design and UI patterns that could be game changi…
I don’t know much about those medical conditions, but it doesn’t take that much imagination to understand that access to eye-gaze data would pretty much give developers mind-reading abilities against whoever is wearing the headset. As the platform matures it will probably be a whole discussion around how it works, who gets access to it and for what reason. I could imagine Apple putting their weight behind developing all sorts of wild disability features.

#149So you're saying there's a final frontier in the mapping of intention and the discernment of preferences ... and you'd like some bright young things to explore that possibility space under the guise of ( unimpeachable good cause ) ? Go to hell. Unless, of course, you'd like to commit the funded work to the free commons, unencumbered by patents and copyrights, and free to use by any entity for any purpose. That's what…
Does pg visit HN to give explanations? HN is his baby afterall

#150Is the lack of mentioning Apple deliberate? It seems like they've already poured a lot of R&D into this for the Vision Pro, which might be exactly the kind of thing the friend needs.
It's not available yet. And in any case if this is the future there should be multiple companies doing it, not just Apple.
AFAIK Oculus pro also has eye tracking and been available for a while
