this is mostly aimed at input in a virtual world where you don't have a keyboard. it's just a proof of concept using existing hardware. and I just started using it so i'm pretty sure we can get a lot faster =)

disabled people are already using the trackIr device to play games like counter strike.

This product may have a potential for those whom can not realy type normaly, however for normal persons and those like me who type abnormaly fast that seems rather slow.

The Product is still rather usefull actualy...

Thanks for uploading the video.
