The truly amazing [eyewriter.org] project is part of an ongoing collaborative research effort to empower people who are suffering from (short for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) with creative computational technologies.

Members of (FAT), , the , and communities have teamed-up with a legendary LA graffiti writer Tony Quan, aka , who was diagnosed with ALS in 2003, a disease which has left him almost completely physically paralyzed, except for his eyes. In this project, a low-cost, open-source eye-tracking system was developed that allows him to draw graffiti just using just subtle eye movements, from his hospital room into the real world.

Next to the incredible technical achievement of drawing graffiti tags from a hospital room onto a remote high-power facade projector miles away in downtown LA, it is also amazing to see how his could somehow be retained, even when drawn solely by eye movements.
