EyeWriter is amazing new technology for disabled person who can't move their hands to write or specially to create art. Most of all its so cheap, as low as just $50. Before it the available eye tracking devices were too much costly around $xxxx figures, obviously, which is not affordable for all.
The EyeWriter Project allows anyone to make their own eye tracking device from hardware that can be bought easily, from anywhere at cheap cost, using open source (free) programs/softwares by developers. The completed device consist of glasses' frame and a cam to record your eye movements' data, which later is used to program a robotic arm to draw them on walls.

The major objective which derived the developers team to make this amazing device was the all time famous LA oldschool graffiti artist TEMPT1 who was left almost completely paralyzed by the disease ALS, expect for his eyes. They hope to provide EyeWriters to other ALS patients allowing them to create art to share with the community. Now TEMPT1 can draw his art using his eyes, not only this, but also he can show his art on walls at real-time.
