An inexpensive system that uses special glasses that contain an infrared light, webcam that detects eye movements, and computer has been developed by Imperial College London students to control a video game (Pong).

The system could be adapted to create more sophisticated games and applications such as controlling wheelchairs and computer cursors, allowing people with severe physical disabilities to become gamers and communicate.
