Dr. DiMattia: what’s next?
“Now that we’re past many of the technological hurdles, we’re
moving into the second phase of the EagleEyes project: educational application.
This phase involves several objectives, many of which are centered on raising
the consciousness of a world population who could benefit from this technology.”
Testing the limits
Unlike most 17 year olds, Matt Galligan makes his football picks by moving
his eyes. Flanked by Boston College football player Haven Perkins and
BC student, Kyle Novellano, Matt concentrates on moving the cursor
across a large projected computer screen toward his chosen team. Some
of the people around him protest, unhappy with the teams he has picked.
Matt just laughs; a major sports fan, his team loyalties are firm and
he won’t be swayed by the peer pressure around him.
Chance meeting sparked EagleEyes’ international
launch
For most kids, a trip to Disney World in Florida is a vacation of fun
and amusement park adventure. For Sian Boyd O’Toole, a student
at the Holly Bank Trust School in West Yorkshire, England, a trip to
Disney World meant a chance meeting that would permanently change her
life and the lives of others around her.
Camera Mouse gains commercial licensing
agreement
CM Solutions, Inc., a technical start-up company in Dallas, Texas recently
obtained an exclusive licensing agreement with Boston College.
In step with Marialice Curran
Marialice Curran, a teacher at the Campus School at Boston College, works
closely with students who use EagleEyes and Camera Mouse equipment.
With her help and encouragement, students are able to interact with
their environment and work towards individual education goals.
