 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.
