Many of us like tapping on the screen while typing and are
comfortable tapping keys using their smartphone or tablet. However, there are
some who think that using keyboards like Swype is a better and faster way to
type. If you don’t know about Swype, it’s a keyboard alternative for normal
tapping keyboard which lets you swipe letters with your fingers to type words.
Don’t you think it would be quite interesting if you could do the same swiping
thing but with your eyes? Well, Microsoft is working on this idea and has
recently patented it. It is quite similar to Swype but in this case the
movement of the eyes of the user will be tracked so they could provide command
from their eyes to swipe out letters.
Now the question is what kind of system could use such
feature? Well, the most common would be Head-mounted displays. Like, you can
use your Google glass and type out a whole email while using your eyes. It
definitely seems a potential idea, but we should keep in consideration that
using our eyes to continuously poke on the side to find different words would
be quite tiring for the eyes.
