There exists a futuristic arcade game that you can control with your eyes. Its name, EyeAsteroids, its location, London's Trocadero (until 17th February).

Simply look at an asteroid to zap it with a laser beam. There's a video below. And how strange it is.

There's an explanation of how it all works on the Tobii Technologies website. Lots of eye-scanning, in a nutshell.

Maker Tobii Technologies has assembled 50 of these EyeAsteroids cabinets, and priced them $15,000 apiece.

But these arcade machines are a mere morsel of the bigger picture, designed, no doubt, for their eye-catching appeal. Oh puns, how much cornea you've become!

Tobii Technologies has already stuffed eye control technology within tablets, monitors and glasses, and believes it could be used in serious places like hospitals and opticians, and by serious institutions like the police.

And by video games, to which Tobii Technologies believes eye control could add "an intuitive, almost magical dimension".

Examples of eye control in gaming (lifted from Tobii Technologies' website):

• Control your character with a joystick, but aim with your eyes
• Aim with a wireless controller and turn around by looking to the side of the display
• Establish genuine eye contact with characters in a game
• Look a bot straight in the eyes and give a command using your keyboard or voice
• Create an emotional intensity that makes characters act as real humans responding to your gaze
• Adapt the game action to your attention and mental state.

If eye control catches on, it's tempting to believe that Microsoft would court it for use in Kinect. Remember that Kinect 2 is said to be so accurate it can lip read.

While I don't think Kinect 2.0 has a chance of achieving this with you sitting on the couch (too far away, too tiny eye movements) maybe from behind the pc monitor it could work.

However I do think it could revolutionize stereoscopic vision. The biggest problem I have with current 3D tech is that it does not adjust the focus and depth of field to what you are looking at. With eye tracking it could adjust the scene naturally to what you are focussing on. No more eye strain caused by looking at blurry things in the scene, instead the scene would adjust the same way as your focus adjust when you look to something near of far away. That would make VR vizors a lot more interesting to me.

I guess you mean the Emotiv headset? http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/08_32/b4095000909813.htm

Mind control is best for simple things like left right fire etc. Together with eye control you could look at certain npc's and give them simple commands with mind control. True Jedi game.

And there it is . . . .

Virtual Reality vs Matrix!?
