Mick Ebeling: 一項“解放”藝術家禁錮的發明

A group of collaborators built the EyeWriter, a low-cost, DIY device that lets paralyzed people draw and communicate using only their eyes. Inspired by a renowned graffiti artist who could no longer move or speak after ALS, the team hacked together sunglasses, a PS3 camera, and open-source software in just two weeks. The first time the artist drew again in seven years, he described it as finally being able to breathe. Their creation is free to build and has since gained global recognition and awards.
