Section 4 Mice Head/Eye


Tobii 
This company has mice that are controlled by your eyes. They sell a range of products. The less expensive mice are marketed for gamers, and the more expensive are for assistive technology. Once you put something on the market, for one thing, it is hard to stop people from using for a slightly different purpose. If the lower cost product does the job, then go with it.

This is a free downloadable program that allows you to move your mouse with a webcam. You move your head, and the mouse moves. You stare at a link, and it clicks on it.
