A new device that controls the computer by eye movements
A team of researchers at the University of "Imperial College London" to develop a device that allows tracking eye movements gives you a chance to control your computer, as well as play games, read e-mails and surf the Web through eye movement without the use of a mouse or keyboard. This device represents a quantum leap and a turning point in the lives of persons with physical disabilities who want to use computers.
The device consists, dubbed "GT3D", of a pair of lenses mounted with my camera video were of fast tracking and accuracy of eye movements, where Tqoman photographed eye movement continuously.
Perhaps what startled researchers around This device is its ability to give three-dimensional data about eye movement and the extent to which perceived people, and believe that it is possible in the future to use this technique to control the wheelchair or artificial robotic arm just by looking.
Although this technique is not new but it is distinct from other similar techniques thanks to low cost, which is accessible to everyone, not exceeding the price of $ 60, other than the cost of other technologies and that many people are unable to buy them.
The researchers conducted experiments that prove the effectiveness of this device by allowing for a few people using this device to play a game of "Pong" electronic, and allow these people to achieve satisfactory results, relying on their eyes just to move the stick in the game.
And this technique can be used to control almost everything and can transfer data wirelessly via technology "Wi-Fi" or via the link "USB" to computers that are operating Bnzama "Windows" or "Linux".
Among the most prominent features of this device ability superior to distinguish between eye movements voluntary and involuntary, which was experiencing similar devices, it is through the wink and the one you can select the option you want, and the long-term owners can disabilities investment this technique in control Pkrasém moving through their eyes.
"Says Dr. Aldo Faisal" from the Department of Technology nerve at the University, "Imperial College London" he was confident the capabilities of this device in revolutionizing the world of technology, adding: "We have achieved two things through it, first we build a system following eye movements three-dimensional cheaper hundreds times of existing commercial systems, and secondly we can build an interface that allows for patients to interact easily and quickly with current technologies. "
Noteworthy that there are other technology dubbed "Senseye" was developed by a group of developers at the University of "Copenhagen" Danish allow users of smartphones and tablet devices to control and interact with their computers through eye movements without having to touch the device.
Also developed company "Tobii" Swedish specialized in tracking and analyzing eye movements, the earlier a new program called it "Tobii Gaze" is compatible with the operating system Microsoft's new "Windows 8", allows control computer stares eyes, but this program based on a merger between eye movements and tracking control by touch pad "trackpad", ie, through the merger between the eye and the finger.
