Controlling a Game With Your Eyes?

2016-02-20
hey guys this is Austin after decades of using controllers can you play a game using your eyes the msi gt72 Dominator is about as high-end of the gaming laptop gets it only takes one look to see this thing means business with a full sized steelseries keyboard and fully customizable RGB backlighting that even extends to the trackpad it might not pass is a thin and light but it's absolutely packed with tons of ports including the new Thunderbolt 3 a blu-ray burner and solid speakers with a built-in subwoofer while a 17 inch 1080p display isn't anything too impressive these days it's outfitted with Nvidia g-sync to keep games looking nice and smooth inside it's rocking a core i7 32 gigabytes of ddr4 memory along with a gtx 980m which is absolutely no slouch the big selling point though is what lives below the display this is a Toby IX which integrates several sensors that can track your eyes with a surprising amount of precision run through a quick calibration by looking at various points on screen and you're up and running this also works with Windows hello for facial recognition to unlock your PC it's a small feature but it's something that's useful and accurate so this is the demo mode that allows you to actually learn it whoa what that's really cool I'm literally not touching anything subdued up-down wah gray this actually really works let's try assassin's Creed rogue so the thing is there's actually not a ton of games that are supported by this but this is one of their main ones oh wow that works not touch anything so first thing I'm noticing the sensitivity is really weird it is actually legitimately weird to not have to use the mouse at all like I've only been playing for a minute I almost don't even really think about anymore like I just looked to where I want to go and I just do it but the accuracy is something a little a little worried about but I think arm is gonna be the best game to test with that so it works differently as a first-person shooter because it only looks allows me to look a little bit left and right in Assassin's Creed I was able to look and actually move around the game here it's much more about I can just look around but I still have to target everything with the mouse which is probably the better idea yeah you know as natural as Assassin's Creed felt this seems weird I don't know I'm noticing especially here there's a lot of like you have to really focus you have to really pay attention like my eyes are almost kind of getting a little strained right now I mean it's cool to be able to look left and right but something like Virtual Reality where it's actually tracking my head it's not real relying on my eyes it feels a lot more natural because it's like my eyes almost want to compensate like if I'm looking at something in the distance the game's trying to like move the screen over but then my eyes kind of want to fight it and look back so it's like there's a disconnect there that's not very comfortable pick them all over the place with this because like there's little moments where I think are cool then I look off to like stop paying attention for a split second it's all over the place that said though there's potential here I think that it could be cool I don't know if it's something that the censors are need to be more precise to be able to like track your eyes better maybe games need to be better supported it doesn't seem like ARMA is a game that has a ton of support it's kind of like a plug and play sort of thing there's absolutely potential with this especially appear with Virtual Reality it could be awesome as of right now though it's a cool feature that's not fully baked
