Last week, I wrote about eye-gaze technology that was being developed for mobile devices. At this week’s Consumer Electronics Show, vendor Tobii is demonstrating similar technology for use with laptops and desktops. The tech journalists who looked at Tobii’s product were pretty impressed with its accuracy. It will still be at least a couple more years before it goes on sale to consumers, but it’s exciting to see that it works as advertised. I’m not sure that gaze technology will take off with the masses like touch interfaces did, but it could emerge as a viable and affordable alternative. It’s certainly much closer to reality than a consumer-grade brain interface.
