The HawkEye project is a collaborative venture involving three organizations: World Access for the Blind in California, directed by CEO Dan Kish; the Institute for Innovative Blind Navigation in Michigan, directed by Doug Baldwin, and the Center for Alternative Perception at the University of Toronto, under the leadership of Dr. Steven Mann. All three organizations are dedicated to wearable computing technologies with the potential to improve the quality of life for disabled individuals. The HawkEye Project is broadly about navigation technologies for blind individuals (seeing without sight), but it includes wearable computing strategies that address functional problems faced by many people with disabilities. HawkEye is an international collaboration bringing together a global community of experts.

The HawkEye project has grown rapidly from it's inspired beginnings. This web page is used for brainstorming; it changes frequently. We have divided our current thoughts into three areas:

A white paper; Putting our philosophy into focus.

A strategy section; musings on how we might bring together the right people; sell this idea to key groups; and raise funds.

A grant template; large and small grants will need to be procured to make this very large undertaking reality.
