Team@ Eye Tribe and Their Motive
A team of 4 PhD scholars from IT University Copenhagen envisioned a company called Eye Tribe to provide Eye Tracking software at affordable price to everyone who is physically challenged. Today it has grown to support not only people who are unable to act physically but it is gaining popularity as best form of input device to deliver lectures and presentation where operating touch screen can cause fatigue.
