Children who cannot use a mouse or keyboard can play computer games using their eyes Computer games which can be controlled by eye movements are being developed by researchers at a UK university. The project at De Montfort University aims to allow severely-disabled youngsters to play computer games. Learning to control games by eye tracking is also intended to help disabled children navigate real-world environments. Eye control “adds a whole new level of intelligence to games”, says research leader Stephen Vickers. The use of eye tracking as a way of interacting with devices has been explored for a number of years, says Dr Vickers.
