Goodbye to the Mouse? New Eye-Tracking Technology Is A Promising Alternative
 Published: Mar 3, 07
Comments: 3 Views: 3,084

Originally created for disabled individuals, a new way to interface with a computer has been developed, in place of the universally-accepted mouse. The new technology tracks eye movements and allows users to navigate through web pages, scroll and clock all through eye movements.

A researcher at Stanford has created an alternative to the mouse that allows a person using a computer to click links, highlight text, and scroll simply by looking at the screen and tapping a key on the keyboard. By using standard eye-tracking hardware--a specialized computer screen with a high-definition camera and infrared lights--Manu Kumar, a doctoral student who works with computer-science professor Terry Winograd, has developed a novel user interface that is easy to operate.

I like it, but I probably can't keep my attention for long enough to stare in the right place...
