Connected as Luis Cruz (283 friends)
I was born in Tegucigalpa, Honduras on March 11, 1993. I was raised in my native country, and graduated from High School under an 11-year program. Subsequently to my graduation in Honduras, I decided to come to the United States to finish my 12th grade in high school, and thus obtain my U.S High School diploma.
My desire for improvement is immense, and given the scarcity of resources and support in my country, I have managed to excel in the field of Digital Electronics and Computer Science. Just about to enter high school on August of 2007, I decided to follow my passion and be successful at life working in what I really liked to do. I began teaching myself several programming languages and other concepts in computer science. I first started pursuing a game developer career, until I began to venture into the digital electronics world when I was 16 years old.
My perseverance has taken me to work hard and pursue my dreams despite my economic limitation. I think that people shouldn’t wait for success knock at your door, but pursue your dreams with enough perseverance and dedication until you reach your goals.
Hello Sindy,
I am glad to know that you are also from Honduras. Send me an email whenever you have time so we can talk a little bit more: lcruz[at]intelsath[dot]com
Thanks for your comments, I hope that the eyeboard reach the funding goal as well! :)

Hey John. thanks for your comment!
The technology I am using for the eyeboard is called Electrooculography, it consists of reading the resting potential of the eyeball using skin electrodes. After that, the info is sent to the computer using microcontrollers. :)

Great project, hope it funds.
One question though, how does it communicate the eye movements? What is the interface(s), data format, etc?
Thanks to everyone that has backed my project thus far. I would appreciate if you could share the eyeboard campaign here at kickstarter with your friends, contacts and other people that might be interested in supporting this project! :)
Thanks!
