Our Assistive Technology division sells eye control technology to people with disabilities. The best thing about our technology - other than that it works - is that you don't have to keep your head still to use it. The technology is also used in: Scientific research - Where do babies look? (What do babies understand?) Market research - Do you notice the product, or just the model, in our ad? Web design - Can people find their way around our page?

Never mind the productivity and communication advantages of this system, I can imagine that for those with disabilities having a virtual world for them to interact in with might be a way for them to experience a mobility that they do not usually have.
