    That’s amazing, but yet another outstanding technology that will be used to make American children fatter.

    That’s cool, I can’t figure out how they click things though…

    Guitarist Jason Becker was using similar technology in the ’90’s after becoming paralyzed with Lou Gehrig’s disesase. Here’s a Google Video link to a documentary:

    @ Sheldon:

    You are unbelievable! You cannot acknowledge what a godsend something like this is to a disabled person? Does the expression ‘There but for the grace of God go I’ mean anything to you?

    Yes, it does. Did you not read my comment? I believe it is amazing, and I know how outstanding this advancement is. But, because corporate companies like to take technology like this and make it available to all consumers, I can see it being used for video games (as shown in the example) that will further lead to obesity in America. I never said disabled people couldn’t use it.
    You’re unbelievable for judging me like that. Does the quote “Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you” mean anything to you?

    I think the tech is great, but the idea of having any of the locked in syndromes scares me to death. I sort of wish they’d spent a little less money and time on this and a little more on a cure. I’m sure that’s not the way it really works, but you see what I mean.

    That is cool!

    As for children getting fat with it, well, blame the parents. If they’re going to let their able-bodied child sit in front of a screen and only make movements with their eyes for hours on end, then it’s up to them to deal with the consequences.

    Video games don’t make kids fat. Bad parenting makes kids fat. Stop putting the blame elsewhere, you’re only enabling them.

    I don’t get how the clicking works, but it’s still awesome to watch.

    I want to see a “Call of Duty” demo with this.

    How marvelous for a handicapped person to experience “real life” without a handicap.
