I hate reading large blocks of text on a digital display. For large documents, I usually print them off and read the hardcopy; however, this pretty damn cool.

Seems pretty cool but leaves a lot unanswered. Will this be usable with normal text? Seems like a lot of the capabilities need to be programmed into the text. How cumbersome are the eye-trackers? Is it something you wear? Something you mount onto your computer?

pretty neat. you can test the eye tracking yourself, its java so should work on any platform.

That's pretty cool. Too bad you have to be on the DFKI Kaiserslautern intranet to get the source code.
The novice realizes that the difference between code and data is trivial. The expert realizes that all code is data. And the true master realizes that all data is code.

Looks awesome, I just hope they can iron it out and make it work real well. Because it's all good in concept but it seems pretty hard to polish. :)
