    Want to start a startup doing eye-tracking? If so I'd be interested in funding it. A friend of mine has ALS and can only move his eyes. He has an eye-controlled keyboard, but it's not very good. Can you make him a better one?

    The reason this is worth doing as a startup is that I think eye-tracking may turn out to have broader applications than it currently does. It may even be a component of the next form factor in computing, the nature of which is still strangely unclear.

    You have to be based in the Bay Area for me to fund you, because I want my friend to be your initial guinea pig. He's up for it. And he has a technical background, so he'll understand when the early versions don't work.

    If you're interested, please reply to this thread, ideally with a link to something that proves you know about eye-tracking or related subjects, and I'll DM you.

    Hi Paul. I built you a demo overnight. This is face and eye tracking (gaze), many different interfaces can be tested. AI integrated on the back-end for intelligent auto-structuring of concepts and phrases. (User can focus on communicating IDEAS, which AI parses into English.
