    Gone are the days when you actually needed a ‘controller’ to control video games.Here is a video from YouTube that shows Quake II being played using the gamer’s eye movement. The Author quotes that he “integrated a Tobii 1750 eye tracker with Quake 2 game. The player can control orientation with their eyes.” Pretty amazing , huh ? Check out the video below.

    According to BBC News, “brain-controlled” games could hit the market as early as next year. For more information on the eye-controlled interaction technology, click here

      hey.. thinking of it.. i have played Quake too.. what would happen if the player had to look at the HUD and inventory ? I mean, come on.. that is the most sought single factor when it comes to first person shooters.
      Anyway, the player in the video has all teh HUD and inventory turned off :D
