Re: [orca-list] OT: Accessibility for person with a motor disability

[chrys <chrys linux-a11y org>]

Howdy,

i dont know a software but it schould be very doable using OpenCV.
i.e.
http://thume.ca/projects/2012/11/04/simple-accurate-eye-center-tracking-in-opencv/
i wanted to start that software long time ago with help of an motoric 
disabled guy.
my idea was to use speech recogizing and eye tracking to make a linux 
maschine accessible.
but m rare in time and didnt heared from him.

cheers chrys
