What is the brand of this head mounted microphone?

[EyeTechDS]

@lasdjfk - Sennheisser, but even a $20 USB desktop mic works pretty well.

@EyeTechDS - wow that a fast reply :). You wouldn't have the exact product name of the microphone? I've tried quite a few microphones, but not yet found one that is both comfortable and efficient. The one you are using seems quite nice! Actually, right now I'm using the new iPhone remote control application by Nuance and the original iPhone headset. It works quite alright I guess, but I believe it could be better.

Hi Robert, I just finished replying to your comment but I think I encountered an error in publishing what I wrote. In any case, I'm very encouraged by your interest in discussing this further, especially as it relates to funding through a grant. I'd like to spend a few days seeing what type of interest I can gain from my fellow DD Council Members. With their possible support and one or two other major players, we might have something. Where you located?

Thanks for responding! I'm very interested in corresponding with you through email. I'm a Council Member on the Texas Council on Developmental Disabilities, and if you know about any of the DD Councils throughout the country, you'll know that we fund numerous projects aimed at enhancing the lives of people who have disabilities. I'd like to explore the possibility of a collaboration. How miniature could your technology get? Could it be implemented onto mobile devices?

We can make the system much smaller it really just depends on systems specs and cost. Our engineering team can design a custom eye tracking system to be much smaller but the smaller you go the higher the cost. What did you have in mind?

[Renreq]

What I would like to know is whether the technology can be integrated into something as small as a netbook or, better yet, a mobile smart phone. The goal is to provide access to people who are unable to physically use all the features of a mobile phone. Texting is a common function of most cell phones, and surfing the web and using GPS functions are quickly becoming common place. Perhaps smart phones are still too weak to adopt EyeTech technology, but what about a really small netbook?

[EyeTechDS]

It is definitely possible to integrate into small laptops. It would be possible to integrate into cell phones but this would be a much bigger project to make it small enough. If you know of any companies or grants interested in developing this we would be open for discussion.

Hi Robert, I would like to thank-you for developing such an amazing product! I have a severe case of Muscular Dystrophy and have been using the Quick Glance 2 for over a year now. Your video is great! Your product is unbelievably effective! But your marketing efforts are lagging. This is the most advanced technology I've ever seen, yet few know about it. I'd love this technology to appear in Windows Mobile phone devices. The EyeTech system solved my computer access problems. Thanks!

I am glad you are able to control your PC again. Thank you for your kind words.
