I'm an academic in CS. I'm constantly frustrated with the way people in my community behave (I call it computer science personality disorder).

It feels like so many academics in my community are competing to be that stereotypical "genius non-personable guy who just doesn't realize he's rude." Don't get me wrong, these people are smart. But they're not geniuses -- mostly just above average guys LARPing as Sheldon Cooper. I sometimes wonder whether the CS community would be better off with people half as smart but twice as collaborative and supportive.

Is this everyone else's experience?

I am supporting a disabled loved one who is going to lose control over their body do to multiple sclerosis complicated by a series of strokes.

We have tried a tobii eye tracker c4. Unfortunately monitor mounted eye trackers are problematic for those with limited mobility and wheelchair-bound. From a positional standpoint there's a lot of variability relative to a monitor.

- Muscle fatigue causing posture changes such as head droop or leaning torso

- A person's position in the chair such as tilt or recline

- Chair alignment to the monitor

Tobii eye tracker c4 can't cope with this kind of environment. In addition Tobii does not really support the disabled community. Tobii restricts any other language besides C,C#,C++ via the Stream Engine or Interaction Library API. The creation of a wrapper to gather data to pipe to another language is prohibited in end-user license agreement. This severely hampers accessibility communities ability to create tools they need to thrive.

Any recommendations for reasonably priced eye tracking hardware that are mounted to headset (not VR/AR) preferably wireless that with a permissive software license?

Thank you in advance!

Hi everyone, I made a website to let people upload their logo and generate an NFC business card. They can print it and embed a NFC chip. It makes sharing websites or contact info much easier.

You can play around with it at https://hugcard.xyz/, currently in beta, so bugs are expected.
