Control your computer using Eyes (Gaze Eye)

Today I came across an interesting topic during a discussion with one of my colleague. He was mentioning a technology called Gaze Eye ( I actually mistook it for Gays Eyes) which is about to be launched into the commercial markets very soon.The technology enables you to control the mouse on your computer with the help of your eye ball movements. It also enables you to even type the text .Amazing right !!!! Iam just waiting for this day .The discussion was quite interesting and he was also mentioning that many big boys are fighting to get this technology for commercial production in the US market. After I came back , i was really keen to know about this technology and started a search on "Gays eyes" ( seriously) :-). Finally came across some articles and then homed onto the right key words "Gaze eyes" . The research into this field had started around 17 years back with a objective to enable handicaps to operate computers and other electronic devices. Many universities and institutions are involved into this research since then. There are many different technologies using this concept."EyePoint" is one them developed by a Computer science doctoral student Manu Kumar (Indian) at Stanford University under the guidance of his Professor Terry Winograd.Checkout this video
