Here's a last-minute gem from CeBIT — a video camera controlled by the eyes. We've seen stuff like this years ago with eye-scanning viewfinders that track focal points, but this working prototype developed at Munich's Ludwig-Maximilians University does full camera movement. It is expected to have applications for psychology and market research — not to mention the obvious fashion uptake we can expect from it.
That guy looks like a fucking tool.
He's more of a peripheral.
I guess it's a nice peripheral for sex cam operators; leaves those hands free for...
Please let me hit him please
what is really cool is that to the untrained eye you can barely even tell that you are wearing anything other than a normal pair of eyeglasses.
If we sent this photo to all of this guys' high school classmates Im pretty sure they wont be surprised...
I belive canon and a camcorder that focused on where your eye was looking in the viewfinder in the 90s.
Back in the day data from studies using the precursors to this thing were really helpful in showing the differences in how experts and novices read. Worked great for music and text read aloud. The pro musicians were especially good at reading way ahead of where they were playing. If this thing gets cheap enough I could see schools using it for diagnosing reading problems in young students. Having that information early on would be a huge help to teachers.
maybe this could be used to make more blairwitch style movie shots, not that we need them.

Go Dave, I can't even remember what movie that is from but it so fits.
