"The key part of Tobii's technology is not built into the television set itself at this stage. Instead an attached sensor sits in-between the viewer and screen monitoring the person's eye movements.

"By tracking the shift in gaze and blinks given it allows the user to point, zoom, scroll, select and navigate menus and features.

"Users look at the different icons on the television interface to control it
The device has to be calibrated to each user before use and becomes less accurate if they are wearing glasses.

"But its developers say they think it has the potential to offer a more natural way to control TVs and other devices, and are hoping to partner with more manufacturers.

"The free Tobii Gaze Interaction software development kit is available to companies interested in exploring the possibilities of gaze interaction and using this revolutionary technology to develop gaze applications that will take part in the future of computing and consumer electronics," said Tobii's chief executive Henrik Eskilsson...."
