technologyreview.com — "A researcher at Stanford has created an alternative to the mouse that allows a person using a computer to click links, highlight text, and scroll simply by looking at the screen and tapping a key on the keyboard. By using standard eye-tracking hardware a doctoral student has developed a novel user interface that is easy to operate."

I love my trackball, requres no room on my desk, plus, in fps or any other application for that matter, if you want to spin around or move to the other side of the screen quickly, just spin the ball and let your fingers off for a bit, and away you go.

I do, the mouse is a pathetic pointing device for FPS games, looking at someone and having eye-stabilization aglorithms keeping the line of sight smooth and then firing a rail gun or other long distance weapon at them would be a godsend. Next drawing pictures with your eyes instead of a wacom pen or mouse would be damn cool. This guy knows what he's talking about BUT he's not designing it right, the "pointing device" should be some kind of clear device that can sit on a contact lens and be detected by glasses you plug in (or wirelessly have connected to) to a computer.I've thought about designing such a device myself, using the glasses as the detector instead of all the expensive bulls**t he's using.

Next they're going to make every pr0n pic a image map. Imagine the amount of pop-ups every time you stare at t**s...
