People with serious motor disabilities will soon benefit from the latest innovation, developed by COGAIN in partnership with the "Information society technologies" (IST).
The "gaming with gaze" software is publicly available at no extra cost.
The software is using gaze and eye-tracking technology in order to control the game functions with only the player's eyes, helping him to open virtual worlds such as Second Life and World of Warcraft.
"Until now, gaze-tracking technology has mainly been used for typing with visual keyboards, for browsing the web and other text-based applications. We have taken it to an entirely new level by using eye movements to control an avatar in a virtual environment, allowing people with disabilities to appear and interact just like able-bodied people if they wish," said Istance of De Montfort University in the United Kingdom.
The various eye movement patterns are converted into 'gaze gestures' which are used to activate movements or action commands.
Of course, there will be some limitations to what people with disabilities can do, such as not being able to perform several actions simultaneously, but they can choose what activities they want to participate in.
