On a project at De Montfort University, Leicester, UK which cooperates with University of Tampere, Finland have expanded on the “Gaze” technology you might (or might not) have heard of, which controls your pc with your eyes. The research team lead by Stephen Vickers have taken the Gaze to the next level, where it is tested in WoW. The main use here is of course as a tool for disabled people to be able to communicate and play in online games rather than a nifty tool for the average wow player, but imagine being able to eat and (effectively) PvP or grind at the same time! Take a look at the video below:
