Writing With Your Eyes: A Video Abstract

In this video abstract, Jean Lorenceau of France's National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) describes how his system works. Relying on a special flickering screen display, an eye tracker, and a visual illusion, the technique makes smooth eye movements possible, which are necessary for writing. This technique may have benefits for patients suffering from paralysis, letting them express themselves more freely, in their own written style, and providing a unique creative outlet.
