Eye-Gaze only interface to MINECRAFT

Description

Two open-source projects to created an eye-gaze only interface to MINECRAFT.

The challenge was to create an interface to MINECRAFT that could be operated with the eyes only (I.e. no confirm switch ). Using eye gaze to point – and a switch to confirm has been done many times. But the challenge here was to use only the eyes to play a game that is highly visual in nature.

Both use the Tobii eye tracking sensor for games. Both are open source and free for anyone to use.

  • The first eyes-only MINECRAFT interface was created by James Vanderheiden for Myles Dear and his son.
  • The second is a fork of James Vanderheiden’s code that Myles Dear did further development on working with Matterport engineers.

Both are available on GitHub.
