LOL, I love that picture. The guy looks like he's posessed or having a seizure.

who says this has to control music

this is a great idea for gamers, you have stereo sound and you could use it to do thing in the game, reload change weapons all kinds of things

or is it possable to actuallt track where the eyes are looking ? calabrate it by looking at something on the screen and then it may be able to track your eye movemnts from there for aiming or selection

for handicapped it could be used to control a cursur and this eye tracking system is simpler and less uncomfortable the older eye tracking systems

for that matter if it works good enough forget the ear buds the eye tracking alone might be a significant improvement for handicapped or military systems or how about hands free control of funcion in your car?

You take your fingers and muscle movement for granted. I think you forget about people who CAN'T just press a button. Most of these sorts of projects are about bringing technology to those who have physical barriers to using it - to increase independence.

This idea epitomizes the concept: just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should do it.
