if I put windows on my intel Mac with parallel desktop to boot them together will your camera work the mouse whatever is on the screen?
eg if i wanted to work in iMove or browse from safari in mac OS rather than windows side, as long as windows is running, (but minimised) I should still be able to control the curosr with the eyegaze unit?
Unfortunately the EyeTech eye gaze systems do not run under Mac OS X yet. You would think that a solution for that would be to run windows in a virtual machine like you suggested . However, to our knowledge there are no virtual machines that support firewire which is what our camera systems use. This disqualifies virtual machines. So, as of yet there is not a Mac OS X solution.
oh rite, well the mac has a firewire port but i just thought i would load the software into the ‘windows’ side.
Any chance you be doing a Mac version in future? I have many disabled friends who are Mac fans and we can’t all use headmouse so it’s a shame there is no eye gaze software out there, cos scanning takes ages!
You’d have the market all to yourself as no-one else has done it!
