Except, the Glass UI isn't an overlay over your entire field of vision as this mockup shows.
Doesn't necessarily have to be, but I think this kind of application for it would be fairly nice. It'd let the whole thing look unobtrusive and if done correctly could be a very easy way to do it for people who have little to no other control over themselves (ALS is in my mind mostly).
Also, it doesn't have eye tracking.
The article cites a Google patent[1] for eye tracking within a wearable computing device. Hopefully it's still coming down the pipeline for Glass at some point.

This should be tested by Stephen Hawking first.
