[oats-sig] RAatE

Thanks Steve, great review and i've passed it on.

I definitely endorse requesting camera mouse to open their code, i'm also
interested in the S12 project when it comes out... 

Cheers.

Simon

RAatE was excellent so thanks to the organisers (Simon could you pass it
on?).

EyeGaze is a really enabling technology and so much faster than switch
access. An Open Source 'product' would be great as an alternative to the
expensive commercial systems and for those who like the OS approach. It
would need to be reliable and Infrared hardware may be an issue but as
Stephen Emslie suggested it might be possible to develop good results with
visible light.

How about we lobby camera mouse to OS their code as Simon has already done?
Combining head and eye tracking could give excellent results.

If anyone is interested in what happened at RAatE my personal take is
recorded here:
