Realizing the plight of the disabled, the Jedlicka Institute for Disabled children, Czech Republic, has come up with the Wink Technology to make their lives easier and worthwhile. The researchers and students of this institute have aimed to make the computer controllable for the handicapped and this has been made possible by placing a light detector or a camera close to the user’s eye. It has been designed to detect eye movements. The most interesting feature of this light detector is that it can not only perceive eye movements but can also perceive head movements.

The data collected goes to the control unit, which later gets converted and decoded into something that the computer can understand. The cursor works efficiently over the monitor receiving the commands following the eyeball movements. Shortly closed eye would be understood as a click and a prolonged eye closing is understood as a double click. This gadget is designed in a manner where in all the computer as well as Internet resources go hand in hand with any PC model. It can also be adapted via USB host. The device costs 1500 Euros.
