A SWEDISH company has created eye-control computer technology that could spell the end of the traditional mouse.

The Tobii Gaze enables users to operate Windows 8 by looking where they want to click.



The device sits below a laptop screen and tracks eye movement using a sensor.



Tobii business development manager Anders Olsson said the interface uses a combination of eye gaze and touch pad for a better user laptop experience.



“Gaze takes away the whole intermediate step of having a mouse or even using touch technology,” Mr Olsson told All Things Digital.



“It uses all seven primary touch commands of Windows 8 (eg., activate, select, zoom, scroll, etc) in a way that is more natural, efficient and precise than any other control when used on laptops and desktops,” Mr Olsson wrote on the company’s website.



Tobii is said to be working with electronics manufacturers to use Gaze technology in laptops.



This is not the first time the company has made headlines with its eye-tracking technology.



In November 2011, the company created Tobii EyeAsteroids - the world’s first arcade game that is totally run by eye control.
