Would you really want the eyegaze on the V as well?  Pretty small targets for someone accessing buttons with their eyes I would have thought.

Hello Simon,  

 

This is another time that one of your e-mails makes me wish I wasn't an ocean away!

 

I don't know how much the Dynavox devices are used in the UK, but they have recently come out with eye gaze control for their

new Dynavox VMax device.  It is not available for  the smaller V, but it seems pretty exciting.

 

We haven't been able to  see a demonstration yet, but hopefully soon.

 

We had the opportunity to try out the Tobii with  a student.  It is a wonderful tool, but because it weighs 50 lbs and so does

the battery pack, it will not work for wheelchair mounting at this point.

 

Good luck with the study day!  I'll look forward to hearing what you come across.
