London: In an invention that could go a long way in helping the disabled, students have developed a computer game that can be operated by eye movement. The students, from Imperial College London (ICL), have developed an open source game called 'Pong', where a player uses his eye to move a bat to hit a ball as it bounces around the screen. To play the game, the user wears special glasses containing an infrared light and a webcam that records the movement of one eye. The webcam is linked to a laptop where a computer programme syncs the player's eye movements to the game. The prototype game is very simple but students believe that the technology behind it could be adapted to create more sophisticated games and applications such as wheelchairs and computer cursors controlled by eye movements. "The game that they've developed is quite simple, but we think it has enormous potential, particularly because it doesn't need lots of expensive equi...
