10 points for coolness, another 10 for execution and 10 more for the idea.

Tempt1 is a graffiti artist from Los Angeles. He is suffering from ALS, which has destroyed all his muscles, except for the ones in his eyes.

This is a free and open-source project, so “Stay tuned for related free software, source code and DIY hardware guide.”

Inspiring!

PS – God I love technology.
