Eyes & Vision

CNN has an interesting article about tracking eye movement to replace keyboards. A new layout for the letters has been designed, which is easier to use with the eyes. Some context sensitive algorithm suggests appropriate letters too, to maximise the word output per minute. It's still not competitive with speech or keyboards, but remains an alternative for those that need it. New Software Lets Your Eyes do the Typing.

BBC News reports of a robot designed at Washington University; Robot Vies to be Wedding Snapper. It can navigate around a crowded room, using its sonar sensors and visual landmarks for localisation. It's task is to locate patches of skin, and determine if they are faces or not... it sounds like this feature could go wrong in style!

Finally, quick mention of an older Wired Magazine article discussing artificial sight, ranging from digital cameras, to processing to brain implants -- Vision Quest.
