For the past two weeks, Sheffield’s National Videogame Museum, located in Castlegate in the city centre, has been exhibiting a new exciting way to game.
Called Eye Gaze, the technology was originally created to make gaming more accessible to those with severe disabilities.
Eye Gaze has been giving visitors the opportunity to control the best-selling game Minecraft simply with the movement of their eyes, utilising infrared cameras and mimicking the the motion of a traditional mouse.
The National Videogame Museum has been working closely with Special Effect, a charity dedicated to helping young disabled people to play videogames.
The charity has been working to assist those with complex disabilities to game since 2007.
Joel Arthur, the museums Junior Manager, said: “A lot of people weren’t even aware that the technology exists.
“Now that people are aware we can talk more about the impacts to people who cant play games in the standard way.”
He also hopes that displaying new and inclusive technologies such as Eye Gaze will create more ‘vocal outreach’ to the gaming industry in making videogames more accessible.
The exhibition lasts from the 10th to the 25th February, so there is still a couple more days to try the technology out for yourself.
