Simple?!!!!! I think that'd be hard (but doable) - especially to do it
safely. Quite a cute idea and a meaty project for an Electronics Engineer.
I've seen an eye gaze/computer/AAC integrated interface, made in the
Netherlands, but have forgotten the name of the company, it might come
back to me but probably not before your (or my) holiday... But it's not
really 'direct mouse input' that way anyway...

Subject: roller ball input to wheelchair
Dear all
Has anyone seen a tracker ball/mouse input to powered wheelchair? It would
be fairly simple to make but I wonder whether any of the more modern systems
might have a mouse interface?
No, I'm not sure how the user will operate it & this brings up lots of
questions, but at the moment I'm just being asked about how it could be
achieved if needed.
PS I'm only at work today before 10 days hol, so I'm after a quick answer!
