The Eyegaze System is a communication and control system for people with complex physical disabilities. You run the system with your eyes. By looking at control keys displayed on a screen, a person can synthesize speech, control his environment (lights, appliances, etc.), type, operate a telephone, run computer software, operate a computer mouse, and access the Internet and e-mail. Eyegaze Systems are being used to write books, attend school and enhance the quality of life of people with disabilities all over the world. The Eye gaze System is a direct select vision controlled communication and control system. It was developed in Fairfax, Virginia, by LC Technologies, Inc.,
Nystagmus The user may not be able to fix his gaze long enough to make eyegaze selections Alternating strabismus
Several common vision problems may affect a user's ability to see text clearly on the Eyegaze monitor. These include the following:
Adequate vision
Cognition
Cognitive level may be difficult to assess in someone who is locked in, especially if a rudimentary communication system has not been established. In general, a user with average intelligence will best maximize the capabilities of an Eyegaze System
At present, the Eyegaze System is configured for users who are literate. The System is text-based.
Memory deficits are a particular concern in considering the Eyegaze System for someone with a brain injury. A user who can't remember from one day to the next how to operate the system may find it too difficult to use effectively.

CURRENT INSTANCES
Sarah lives in Massachusetts. Here, she's shown checking out how to use her new EYEGAZE SYSTEM when she's in bed.
Part of an email from Lynn,who lives in Georgia: "I've been writing letters to the church...I wrote a short book(using Eyegaze) for my 4 yr. old grandson. I can't wait to hear the reviews! Praise God for this wonderfultechnology." Lynn has a spinal cord injury.
CONCLUSION:
Today, the human eye-gaze can be recorded by relatively unremarkable techniques. This thesis argues that it is possible to use the eye-gaze of a computer user in the interface to aid the control of the application. The main reason for eye-gaze based user interfaces being attractive is that the direction of the eye-gaze can express the interests of the user. The eyegaze communication can be very useful for the people with physical disabilities to work with system. It improves the life standards of the persons with physical disabilities.
FUTURE SCOPE!!!
It is argued that eye-gaze tracking data is best used in multimodal interfaces where the user interacts with the data instead of the interface, in so-called non-command user interfaces.
