I love this thing. It's so interesting and easy to use. I have it just for one day, but feel pretty pro. Like a game

Try to think outside the box.

What if you had no thumbs? No fingers? Dasher would become a viable solution for people who are handicapped and are forced to use their eyes/tounges for GUI interactions.

Yea I already thought of that after I made the post. Ppl could write words if they're paralyzed from the neck down as they could write words by controlling a device with their mouth.

However, I'd just prefer voice 2 text.

Interesting concept. I wonder how does it compare with the touch type typing though. The muscle memory really takes off after a while which lets people really blast off their wpm count but this method will always depend upon the alogorithm used and your ability to recognize the next alphabets/combination that you want.

Eitherway, its an interesting concept.

Okay, so how does he type now, Retrogamer500?

And it was more of a general statement, using a widely known figure to illustrate a point that not everybody can type--but everybody can look with eyes onto a screen. And they have eye-tracking software, so use that with this and you should see my point.

You can proabably make words faster with this with one finger than one finger typing.
