Best Find of the Day: Latest Gaze Interaction Technology

Really great best find of the day story because this is extra ordinary Gaze Interaction technology and whole concept is based on gaming-with-gaze software and in interview are Howell ISTANCE is said:
“Until now, gaze-tracking technology has mainly been used for typing with visual keyboards, for browsing the web and other text-based applications. We have taken it to an entirely new level by using eye movements to control an avatar in a virtual environment, allowing people with disabilities to appear and interact just like able-bodied people if they wish.”
“In the current set up, we have programmed 12 gesture sequences to activate different keyboard or mouse events. Many more commands are possible but the total number is limited by the users’ memory and the need to differentiate between when someone wants to input a command and when they are just looking at the screen. Obviously there will be limitations to what users with disabilities can do – such as not being able to perform several actions simultaneously – but they can choose what activities they participate in. That is a choice they did not have before.”
“It could be life changing for the large number of paralyzed people whose only means of communicating is with their eyes. Second Life, for example, could really be a second life for them, providing not only entertainment but versatile electronic services, for example, education.” Via
