I am looking for the names and addresses of companies that sell eye movement monitoring devices. These devices can tell exactly where a person is looking. I would like to find a device that doesn't require a head set or a chin rest and costs less than $20k. Thanks for any information. -- Jack Velte @ University of MD domain: velte@mimsy.umd.edu path: seismo!mimsy!velte

One of the PhD candidates upstairs in BioMed (I forget his name, drat) is measuring the eye movement of infants. He uses annular, soft contact lenses (i.e., with the middle cut out) in which are embedded several turns of fine copper wire; the lenses go in the eyes, and the head goes in a constant magnetic field. Voila. Obviously, this works by measuring movement and not position, but what's an integration, and when do babies ever sit still, anyway? --Blair "Bilingual Puns Available with Advance Notice." P.S. I really don't know how to contact the guy, and he's probably graduated and gone by now. Just thought I'd describe the setup, cuz I thought it was neat.
