Artificial Intelligence and EyeHarp: Artificial intelligence is used to track eye movement, allowing you to play the EyeHarp even without the ability to move your arms and legs.
Background: EyeHarp was created by Zacharias Vamvakousis who realized after one of his friends was in a serious accident that there was no musical instrument that could be played by people who are quadriplegic. Since its creation, EyeHarp has been used to teach music to people with disabilities, both in ensembles and in music therapy settings.
