SteelSeries' Sentry eye tracker lets you control a PC game with your eyes

Game peripheral maker SteelSeries is introducing its Sentry eye tracker that enables players to control computer games with their eye movements.

Proponents of eye tracking argue that it is a faster and more natural way of controlling the action in video games, such as first-person shooters. As a result, it could help level the playing field for players who are less adept at using game controllers. Or, it could create an unfair advantage for those who have such a system.
