Many disabled students could benefit from eye tracking technology. Eye tracking devices replace the need for a traditional mouse to navigate a computer by following the movements of their user's eye. The student does not have to move from their normal position and is especially useful for students with limited mobility issues.
Newer and better programs are continually being developed to make the software more intuitive and work around the need for devices. Fairly soon it may be possible to use eye tracking with almost no training and only require the software to be installed on a computer with a webcam (which is now standard in almost all models). This would mean that any student that requires the technology could use any computer in any room, without having to adapt the computer itself.
