Step aside Microsoft Kinect with your motion sensor, console controlling ways and make way for this incredible prototype laptop from Lenovo and Swedish firm Tobii; Why flail around in hopes of controlling your computer, when you can just use your eyes to do so? Yup, tell me something like this 4 years ago and I would have thought you watched too much Stargate or something, but today, at CeBIT, a demonstration setup is a reality.
According to the guys over at engadget who have had some one-on-one time with one of the 20 prototype Windows 7 machines, it works pretty darn well! The laptop, with the aid of a sensor attached to the front of the laptop, could clearly detect where you were looking at and never needed that extra time to know what the user wanted to do. It wasn't even limited just to sweeping gestures, but also to smaller arrays of numbers like on calculator.
As with most prototypes, the technology is far from ready to hit full on commercialisation, however, with the right partner, it is likely that we'll be seeing it come 2013. By then, we'd also have hovercars right?
