Graffiti Eyes


So I came across a blog similar to this one this morning called F.A.T Free Art & Technology - they were on the first page of my Google search of Art and Technology while I'm still no where to be found :(

Anyway, on their there was an interesting post about a graffiti artist named Tony who tagged "Tempt one". Tony suffers from a debilitating disease: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ASL) which has left him paralyzed and unable to use any of his muscles including his hands to write.
F.A.T embarked on a project at the beginning of this month which uses eye tracking technology EyeWriter V1.0 to help Tony continue to practice his art. Pretty fantastic that a man who was down on his luck and thought he would never be able to write again has had the chance to tag again after 7 years. Imagine how this technology can help others like him....
