All about Eye Tracking Controls

Eye tracking controls enable users to control technology of any kind with the movement of their eyes.

This emerging technology was recently championed at CES 2012 by Swedish company “Tobii” who specialise in eye tracking for medical, marketing and research markets as well as device control.

The potential applications of this technology are massive, from controlling computers to household devices; for those with physical disabilities and professions where additional levels of control improve workability, the potential uses are truly limitless; and with the vast majority of visual tech firms already trialling eye tracking expect it to become mainstream within only a few years.

Eye tracking could be used as a diagnostic tool for anything on the autism spectrum. Right now there are tests that require pushing keys on computers. It would be extremely helpful if doctors could simultaneously track eye movement as rapid eye movement is one of the symptoms of some of the disorders. Perhaps knowing how fast the eye moves will help give a diagnosis of the severity of the condition.

Thanks for your comments Motagua, the number of applications for eyetracking controls are massive. I'd not heard of this diagnostic application before so thanks for sharing.
