Playing Pong with The Blink of an Eye:

on March 26, 2010, an article was released containing the information about some college students from Imperial College in London, who are currently working on a new way to play games. These students have adapted the game 'Pong' and as the bat hits the ball that bounces around the screen, they have cordinated it to happen using the movements of your eye. " To play the game, the user uses glasses containing infrared light and a camera that records the movement of your eye. The webcam is linked to a laptop where a computer program that syncs the players eye movements to the game. This type of technology is low in cost. This will allow people with severe disabilities that could have never played typical video games, be a "gamer" now!
