Think this could develop into something as big as the mouse. Could improve some types of games quite a bit.

Thoughts?

I would imagine if it was any good it would have been sold in the disability market for 1000's for people who are paralised.

Flash in the pan if it did take off, leapmotion IMO is more useful and even it has very limited usage.

It could lead to something more useful though.

sounds crap and expensive.

why not just carry on using a headtracker that is bound to be far more simple and cheaper

"Tech enthusiasts and gamers around the world are waiting for eye tracking to happen in consumer devices, and the expectations are extremely high."

Really ?

I can only see a use for this if you were paralysed.
