TabletKiosk and SMI plan to market the Sahara EyeSlate(TM) both as an

powerful Windows 7 and Windows 8 Tablet PC that can be controlled via
eye gaze, touch, voice or handwriting recognition in lieu of a physical
keyboard and mouse. Included with the system will be SMI's powerful Eye
Tracking Software Developer's Kit (SDK) so that developers can integrate
the Sahara EyeSlate(TM) Tablet PC's eye tracking functionality into their
existing software solutions. SMI`s remote eye tracking technology is
robust regardless of eye color or age of the user, it accommodates
eyeglasses and contact lenses and allows for a wide range of head
movements of the user.
"We are excited to partner with SMI to announce the Sahara EyeSlate(TM)
Tablet PC with eye tracking technology," said Martin Smekal, President
and CEO of TabletKiosk. "As a specialty hardware manufacturer,
TabletKiosk strives to align itself with cutting edge technology
partners like SMI to jointly create customized and purpose-based
hardware computing solutions."

of eye tracking technology is gaining momentum in many application
fields ranging from AAC, gaming and medical screening to gaze
interaction in other industry and prosumer applications. We are proud to
work with TabletKiosk and are convinced that this new all-in-one tablet
PC provides tremendous customer value in many of these fields."
