Eye control can also speed things up by enabling new and intuitive ways to switch between open windows, and browse your emails and documents.This could be a boon to disabled users, but also to gamers. Tobii said that the eye tracking could someday enable users to aim with their eyes; in-game characters might even interact with you and give you actual eye contact.
