Graffiti tools for the paralysed (or the exceptionally lazy)
It's unlikely that you'd hold someone who was completely paralysed apart from their eyes responsible for an act of vandalism. Now the likes of Stephen Hawking can start tagging their hearts out using a new system that allows you to draw graffiti using only the movement of your eyes.
The EyeWriter project, founded by members of the Graffiti Research Lab, Free Art and Technology (FAT), Openframeworks and The Ebeling Group has been tailored for artists with paralysis resulting from Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). They teamed up with legendary LA graffiti artist Tony Quan, aka TEMPTONE, who was diagnosed with ALS in 2003 and has been left almost completely paralysed.
