But by designing cheaper eye-tracking devices, it makes them more accessible to the millions of people who suffer from degenerative diseases or disabilities that don’t allow them to use a traditional keyboard and mouse.

Faisal says several companies have already approached him about mass-producing the device, but none so far have shown a true desire to keep them cheap and accessible.
