I've recently developed hardware that a user will wear that will generate a
unique code based on that user. It is based on a few characteristics,
including eye, brain wave patterns (of a certain region of the brain, only,
though), and finger printing. I'm currently debugging the DNA encoder, which
basically is just a pen-like thingie which gets swiped against the skin and
then a code based on the DNA is generated.

I've got an alpha-alpha running right now using EUPHORIA for Windows. My
test app is what I call an EyeMo (short for "eye mouse"). Where ever I look
on my PC, the mouse cursor follows along. At times there's a lag, but the
code is very slow because I want to make sure I'm covering every base. In
order to "click" on something, I either think "CLICK" or I can do something
mechanical, like snap. I'm trying to tweak it so that there is no mechanical
effort (except the eye movement for cursor positioning), just thought.

The hardware is very crude and bulky, but, again, these are just proof of
concept items. I'm using a lot of parts from the local Home Depot, my
uncle's auto shop, and my friend's technology lab down at Southwest
Laboratories.
