Fall 2012

Project Website

WAYLA is a project team at CMU- Portugal with the intention of using eye tracker to innovate the entertainment experience. The eye tracker is a rare piece of technology; according to Tobii, the company that produce the particular device we are using, only around a thousand of eye trackers exists worldwide, and usually located in universities and research labs, and most often used for studies on psychology or vision. However, we do believe that eye tracker will soon enter the public view; Tobii demoed their eye tracking laptop at CES 2012, and there are rumors of TVs with eye tracker being produced in China. With the spread of the technology, entertainment using eye tracker will become more mainstream, much like how Kinect has entered many household. At project WAYLA, we aim to create new ways for people to play games. Not only do we want to enable everyone to play games with their eyes, we want to create an unique experience that cannot be replicated with any other control.
