Try posting to comp.human-factors where Ergo's & HF hang out.
This has been CC'd there.

I shall have a look around myself, there's plenty going on in research and
I'm sure there must be a few products out there already.

One other postee refers to voice control; if in addition he has some _very_
limited control of his hands then there are various devices that work with an 
alphanumeric menu. This can be mouth, finger etc operated (as in up,down etc).

Best wishes.
