Eyeball-Controlled Pong Could Be Breakthrough for Disabled Gamers

Engineering students in London have developed a controller that enables eye-controlled movements in a video [[link]] game, signaling the possibility someday for people with severe physical disabilities to 
enjoy video games for the first time. The students, from Imperial College London, constructed the controller as a pair of glasses containing an infrared light and a webcam to record the movements of one eye. That camera was linked to a laptop, where a program the students [[link]] had written synchronized the player’s eye movements to the game – in this case, a version of Pong(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); The students and their faculty supervisor think the technology is proof of concept 
for creating more complex eye-controlled games, while also enabling eye control of wheelchairs or cursors on a computer screen. The best part? It was constructed for a thousandth of the cost of current state-of-the-art eye movement technology. The students’ rig cost roughly [[link]] £25 to make. High end eye movement systems for use in brain research cost about £27,000. Imperial College London News Release
