Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Play Minecraft with Just your Eyes!”.
What is up guys mr. use a boss here and when I attended egx a week or so ago, i actually had the chance to experience something pretty amazing, so, amongst all the other cool stuff that was there, one thing in particular stood out, and this was actually A charity, it’s charity called special effects and they actually tried to get disabled children back into gaming. People who may have lost hands who may have impaired vision or different sort of disabilities would prevent them from fully enjoying games and they’ve created. Some awesome awesome bits of technology that actually help people do that and one the ones I saw was I controlled minecraft everything every possible action in the game is actually mapped to a function in the eye, for example, blinking or looking in a certain direction, and it Sounds like a total nightmare, but they’ve actually achieved it in a way which is pretty workable.
You buy a plug-in for about 50 60 pounds. I need to stick that on your laptop. You plug it in via USB, and it will read your eyes and then connect to the game and they’re working on optimization with tons of titles and special effect is not a business.
It’S a charity, meaning that they don’t earn a single penny from this, and so it’s just very, very inspirational and refreshing to see people who just wanted to give back to the community. You imagine back in your childhood. You had such a good time playing games.
Loads of memories were created, and it’s just a way to sort of give these people who wouldn’t otherwise be able to experience that that opportunity. They even demoed H in controlled version of mario kart and it’s very, very straightforward. They basically just created this sort of chin extension and attached a joystick on to the unwritten.
The game was fully playable. All you needed with three buttons which you could just tap with your hands, no finger movement required, and it played just as well. As you know, a controller would – and I was amazed by it – I think that these guys are doing a fantastic thing, so this stuff has been in development for over seven years now and I think by next year, it’ll be in the mainstream market.
So guys that was just a quick video for me. There are still good people out there thanks for watching, and I will see you next time you .
