Video Hands-On: Tobii Technology Demoes Eye Control on Windows 8


January 8th, 2012 by Sarah Silbert, LAPTOP Staff Writer  

Tobii Technology, the Swedish company behind the Gaze UI we recently gushed about, was on hand at CES Unveiled with its eye-control software.

The company had Gaze running on a Lenovo notebook prototype along with a Windows 8 machine. We got a chance to try out Gaze’s eye-tracking capabilities on the Lenovo machine by playing a game of Asteroids. First, the system required us to follow dots on the screen to calibrate our vistion, and then we were ready to roll. Instead of using a mouse to blast rocks heading our way, we simply looked at the asteroid in question.

We also got a chance to experience Gaze to navigate Windows 8′s tile-based interface. Check out our video hands-on for a closer look.
