Tobii EyeAsteroids is the world’s first arcade game that is totally run by eye control

Tobii EyeAsteroids offers gamers a unique experience in a classic arcade game style; the player has the chance to save the world from an impending asteroid collision. As the asteroids move closer to Earth, the gamer simply looks at them in order to fire a laser that destroys the rocks and saves the world from destruction.

When playing the eye-controlled Tobii EyeAsteroids, the user’s hands become superfluous to the game’s success. The speed at which the eyes can target the asteroids is many times higher than what can be accomplished using the hands. During initial testing, one consumer stated; “This is a new kind of gaming experience, very laid-back and casual gaming. The time gap between decision and action is virtually non-existent. That’s pretty unique in a gaming scene ruled by the latencies caused by mouse, keyboard and especially gamepad input.”

The first of its kind arcade game will begin its world tour on 8th November 2011 at Dave & Buster’s Times Square, New York City, where it will remain for two weeks and will then be on display in London later in the month. From 10-13th January 2012, Tobii Eye Asteroids will be featured in the Tobii Technology booth at the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas.

Tobii EyeAsteroids is available for purchase by companies and individuals. There will be a limited production run of 50 units available for $15,000 USD each.
