 There have many efforts to bring computing to everyone. From the third world countries to the handicapped, computers are reaching everyone. One of the coolest technologies to come from making computer accessible by all is the hands free computing. SmartNav has a teamed up with RJ Cooper and Associates to bring hands free computing to the Mac OS.
The SmartNav system works by placing a reflective dot on either your head, hand, or any movable body part. The IR sensors detect the movement and the mouse moves in relation. RJ Cooper & Associates has written the software application for the Mac, and they have included OnScreen, a dynamic on screen keyboard for typing. Prices range from $500 to $600, depending on features.
While this is what I would consider out of range for my budget, it would be a really cool mod addition. Down side is the need to have the reflective dot attached to work.
