Imagine this – you are playing a video game and want to interact with the other character. But, instead of using the mouse, you simply rest your eyes on that particular character and almost instantly, you get a response from it.
Wouldn’t that be outstanding?
Eye-tracking replacing a task usually performed by the mouse!
That’s interactivity at a completely different level. And this, indeed, is the future of the multi-billion dollar industry of video gaming.
Eyes can reveal a lot about a person’s intentions, thoughts and actions, as they are good indicators of what we’re interested in. Eye-tracking can help in picking up the cues that are subconsciously given by the other person and hence, in enhancing the overall interaction. The most amazing part about these micro-gestures and expressions is that they are totally intuitive. There’s a lot of potential in eye-tracking in other arenas as well.
Eye-tracking is just one of the varied aspects of technological advancements. There’s much more to this phase of evolution.
