Eye tracking in virtual reality may sound a bit strange on it's face (no pun intended). However, this technology has huge implications for some of our most fragile and impacted students (with CP, Retts, etc.). Imagine what might happen if a student is given the ability to have a large impact on their reality, albeit virtual. This has the potential to greatly open up neural and motor pathways and have a profound impact on the development of people feeling stuck in their bodies. How empowering would it be if this technology opened up communication and occupational exploration opportunities? Looking forward to seeing how this develops.
