I love the idea of helping disabled people, but honestly I want this for FPS purposes!!!!!! ]]>Jan 10th 2009 8:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/03/eye-controlled-interaction-for-your-gui-coming-soon/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/03/eye-controlled-interaction-for-your-gui-coming-soon/Oct 3rd 2006 6:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/03/eye-controlled-interaction-for-your-gui-coming-soon/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/03/eye-controlled-interaction-for-your-gui-coming-soon/Nov 29th 2006 9:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/03/eye-controlled-interaction-for-your-gui-coming-soon/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/03/eye-controlled-interaction-for-your-gui-coming-soon/Jan 10th 2009 8:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/03/eye-controlled-interaction-for-your-gui-coming-soon/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/03/eye-controlled-interaction-for-your-gui-coming-soon/
and

"who need both hands free to carry out their work."

The above statements imply that one would be able to perform these tasks simultaneously. I would have thought that controlling the said display would involve some sort of effort/concentration - like moving the pointer to a button for example. Wouldn't voice activation be alot more convenient in this scenario?]]>Oct 3rd 2006 6:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/03/eye-controlled-interaction-for-your-gui-coming-soon/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/03/eye-controlled-interaction-for-your-gui-coming-soon/
It does sound like something with a specialized use. I dont want windows getting dragged around the screen just because I look at them. Your hands are the traditional tools for manipulating things.]]>Oct 4th 2006 4:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/03/eye-controlled-interaction-for-your-gui-coming-soon/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/03/eye-controlled-interaction-for-your-gui-coming-soon/Oct 3rd 2006 7:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/03/eye-controlled-interaction-for-your-gui-coming-soon/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/03/eye-controlled-interaction-for-your-gui-coming-soon/
Unless everything is going to have clearly distinguishable, highly visible 'buttons' to look at. Somehow I think handheld remote controls might be the more efficient option until the machines can read my mind.

If we can get used to those things we can easily get used to something as simple as LOOKING at something and blinking!]]>Oct 3rd 2006 8:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/03/eye-controlled-interaction-for-your-gui-coming-soon/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/03/eye-controlled-interaction-for-your-gui-coming-soon/Oct 4th 2006 1:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/03/eye-controlled-interaction-for-your-gui-coming-soon/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/03/eye-controlled-interaction-for-your-gui-coming-soon/Oct 3rd 2006 8:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/03/eye-controlled-interaction-for-your-gui-coming-soon/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/03/eye-controlled-interaction-for-your-gui-coming-soon/
I think I wouldn't like all my device's cameras staring @ my eyes all the time trying to see if I want to turn them on or something... what if I look @ them the wrong way? will they get mad @ me?

interesting, nonetheless.]]>Oct 3rd 2006 10:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/03/eye-controlled-interaction-for-your-gui-coming-soon/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/03/eye-controlled-interaction-for-your-gui-coming-soon/Oct 3rd 2006 11:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/03/eye-controlled-interaction-for-your-gui-coming-soon/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/03/eye-controlled-interaction-for-your-gui-coming-soon/Id rather sponsor brain pattern research thanks.]]>Oct 3rd 2006 11:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/03/eye-controlled-interaction-for-your-gui-coming-soon/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/03/eye-controlled-interaction-for-your-gui-coming-soon/Oct 4th 2006 12:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/10/03/eye-controlled-interaction-for-your-gui-coming-soon/http://www.engadget.com/2006/10/03/eye-controlled-interaction-for-your-gui-coming-soon/
Video-based eye-tracking has been around for several years now, with some of the pioneering work done in the IBM BlueEyes project (Flickner, Zhai, Koons, Morimoto and Amir).

There are several (>10) commercial companies that provide video based eye-tracking products with the leaders in Sweden (Tobii), Australia (SeeingMachines) and the US (ASL, LC Technologies).

Gaze-based interaction has been tried for a long time and there is a rich history of academic literature which discusses various approaches (in case you're curious, blink are a bad idea). If you're really curious try searching Google Scholar or drop me an email for list of references.

In the interest of full-disclosure, this is the area of my thesis work at Stanford. As part of the research at Stanford we have come up with novel ways of combining gaze and other input modalities.

For more information, I would invite any interested people to visit http://hci.stanford.edu/research/GUIDe for more information.
