-blink detection (using a webcam or forward facing camera?) to pause while your eyes are closed?
-hold-to-pause or hold-to-spritz button, and show context (+- a few lines) when not spritz-ing?
-point of focus slides slowly across the screen, to exercise those extraocular muscles
Unfortunately for me, Latex hasn't gained traction in our department. I think the main barriers to entry, for our lab at least, are:
1) Local installation is more difficult than installing Word. Sharelatex and other cloud-latex solutions solve this.
2) Word's comment and review tracking system is more intuitive. If you're reading a document electronically and want to insert a comment or make an edit in word, you just do it right there. With latex, you can use synclatex to go back and forth but this extra step is actually a non-insignificant barrier. Also, with latex, is there a way to make and see comments in the pdf/preview but have the comment also live somewhere in the source, AND have the comments be editable in both places? I suspect the answer is yes, but I just haven't found the right tool?
I haven't unlocked the "history" feature in sharelatex but does it come close to this?
the there's no official BCI society yet, but the people who put on the meeting where this announcement was made http://bcimeeting.org/ are actively investigating becoming one.
then again, the same question can be asked, what makes their society the official society?
Then again, being a n00b, maybe I don't realize that speed-of-input isn't the bottleneck for composers hehe.
Anyway, even if it doesn't, I think this will still be awesome.
