well I'm Sean Hollister with the verge and I'm about to put my eyes into a video game Sony has a demo at GDC 2014 of eye tracking technology and we're about to calibrate it right now let's go ahead about 60 centimeters away from the screen all I have to do is look at these two dots and this sensor bar in front of me knows where my eyes are where I'm looking at its a gaze tracking system and as you'll see in a moment we'll jump right into a game and I'll be able to look at whatever I want to save all I have to do is turn my eyes in a direction and it's going to look at whatever I'm aiming at right now I'm just gonna look for the top of the Space Needle and it's there it stops as soon as as soon as I get there it knows that's what I'm looking at and it stops the camera right there if I want to go back and look at that power beater of the wall again eyes look for that box there it is it stops right there I'm not touching anything I don't have the controller in front of me I just look at something and it goes thing so now I'm playing an actual part of the game I'm just running around this environment I can throw fireballs previously I'd have to use this right analog stick to carefully aim where I want to go maybe even I'd have to stop in my tracks if I wanted to be able to accurately aim a fireball now fireballs go wherever I'm looking now I'm in a combat scenario I've got some some guards here for your baby patrolling with submachine guns normally I'd probably have to stop and or maybe enter like a bullet time mode and shoot at them but here I can just dance around so just looking at these folks and run towards them and run away from them to keep tapping just shooting wherever I want however I look wherever I think I want to hit something out comes a fireball works particularly well when I'm running away from a target too which is something that's completely counterintuitive normally but something that I guess the superhero would probably be able to do you
