A French researcher has built a device allowing disabled people to write or draw on a computer screen using only their eyes, a report said Thursday.With head-mounted cameras monitoring their eye movements, test subjects were able to write and draw on a blank computer screen in the latest breakthrough for people trapped in immobility by disease or accident.Lorenceau's system, still just a prototype, compensates for saccadic, or jumpy, eye movements to allow a smooth writing style.After four half-hour training sessions, his subjects were able to write at a rate of about 25 letters per minute.To see more details visit,www.nydailynews.com
