Is there anything available for a person who is almost totally
immobile (can move eyes and lips, but lip movements aren't too
well coordinated) to interface to a PC for communication?
He has a very high IQ but also a serious neurological disease
 -- two of his grown children can program so whatever rough
state the device or its drivers might be in, it would still
be of interest.

I think I read of things used in fighter plane cockpits that
could detect, from a reflected beam, where the pilot's eyes
were directed .... any pointers to university or private
labs, companies, etc. would be appreciated.
