Avra Labs Eye Control is a mouse replacement designed to help people with arm difficulties use Windows with their eyes. It currently works with Tobii eye-trackers and uses the OptiKey on-screen keyboard for typing. This project is provided for free with the intention of helping people to use computers, as well as to support technological advancement in the eye-tracking and AAC fields.
Noteworthy enhancements tested to be more intuitive and productive compared to other software alternatives include:
The software can be downloaded from Releases here on Github: https://github.com/rishikapadia7/AvraLabsEyeControl/releases

The Avra Labs Eye Control project is a combination of 2 major items: 1) Mouse Replacement 2) Keyboard replacement
The project was conceptualized in June 2017 by Michael Lai who was completing Computer Engineering at the University of Waterloo in Canada. After trying existing eye-tracking technologies and dissatisfied with the user experience, Michael saw the potential of improving the lives of individuals with arm difficulties. To help complete and execute his vision, Michael brought on Rishi Kapadia.
