Microsoft has released the beta version of the native eye tracking feature into windows 10 that allows people to control features of the operating system with their eyes.
Eye Control is aimed to empower physically-challenged people to operate an on-screen mouse, keyboard, and text-to-speech experience using only their eyes.
When the mouse function is selected, users need to look at what they want to click on, after that selection is done with the rolling of eyes.
Typing works can also be performed in the same way. Users need to look at the letters that they want to type. Microsoft is also trialing a neat feature called “shape writing” to help people to type faster by the look at just first and last letter of a word.
