So what do you do when you’re too tired and lazy to play a game of pong? Before you pass the game to someone else, a group of researchers from the U.K. were able to develop a pair of glasses that can control a game of pong using the eyes. In a paper published by the Journal of Neural Engineering, the researchers explained that the glasses have the capability to track eye movements in 3D. Learning the system is said to be easy – only 10 minutes of training are needed.
The team added that the system is 800 times cheaper than other similar brain machine systems. The man responsible for the cool technology is Dr. Aldo Faisal from the Department of Computing Imperial College. More than just a old game for bored gamers, Dr. Faisal and his team of researchers are hoping that the technology will be able to help people with movement disorders such as Parkinson’s Disease and Multiple sclerosis.
