Online Learning Access: Now use eye movement to play computer games - Ians, Science News
In an invention that could go a long way in helping the disabled, students have developed a computer game that can be operated by eye movement. The students, from Imperial College London (ICL), have developed an open source game called ‘Pong’, where a player uses his eye to move a bat to hit a ball as it bounces around the screen. To play the game, the user wears special glasses containing an infrared light and a webcam that records the movement of one eye. The webcam is linked to a laptop where a computer programme syncs the player’s eye movements to the game.
