Extreme Trix

Don’t get shocked if I say that you can easily play video games with your eyes (yes! now you can do that). Today I got a news that a new computer game that is operated by eye movements has been developed by the students of Imperial College.  The students adapted an open source game called “Pong” where a player moves a bat to hit the ball as it bounces on the screen or the monitor to make it.

Can we fro our eyes too?

Players have to wear a special kinda glasses that contain infrared rays. If they won’t those glasses, then this new technology could cause severe problems in their eyes (even permanent damage too). To play the game a player has to wear infrared containing specs. A Webcam would be linked with the computer that would first scan the player’s eyes and then sync the eyes movements via Infrared.

According to it’s developers this technology can be used to create more complicated and sophisticated games and applications  within an affordable price. They also say that it could help the scientists to save a lot of money too because the eye movement systems that they are currently using are too expensive (25,000 Euros). But this technology is too affordable (with a starting price of just 25 Euros).

Researchers said that technology used to operate this game could further help paralyzed or physically not well patients to easily perform simple tasks (that were difficult for them, like writing, etc).

I  think that this technology could be an ultimate source of entertainment for both vide games addicted people and physically challenged people who don’t even know what is fun and entertainment.

What do you think? Drop it down.
