taking gaming to the next level - Eye Tracking

These “new controls” replace the mouse click as a means to allow players to interact more naturally with their digital environments.

"Eye tracking technology allows us to build interfaces that respond to users' intentions rather than just their actions. This makes computers feel more natural than ever before,"

I think this would be sweet, instead of using the mouse to look, you can simply look, and that frees up the mouse for other things. Would be sweet for mech games.

The new Eyetoy has something very similar to this (or this is what they talking about?) and going to work for the PS3!!!!!

Yeah I just check it out Sony was looking a way to interact better with a the Eyetoy and they thought of this and were talking about it but they never mention it to tracked eye movement. But it does track you in some way and it might just doing that for the Eyetoy. Nice find!!!

I think this would be great for driving games aswell...especially given the new cockpit views that have been recently employed in games like PGR3 and Test Drive: Unlimited(coming sept 5th). Not to mention the FPS games like HALO1-2 and three coming.

To the op I know what your talking about I've seen it on tv its not the eye toy thing

but if your using your eyes then you look up, the game looks up and you cant see the screen so you look down, the game looks down and there was no point in looking up in the first place.

I cant see this thing working to well atall
