Eye tracking within Windows 10's Fall Creators Update is an assistive technology with potential

Microsoft's Eye Control for the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update offers up a noble goal: controlling your PC with your eyes, using a feature called Eye Control in the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update. Eye tracking has quietly emerged as an alternative to the mouse, led by companies like Tobii. The concept is simple enough: Sensors within an eye tracker bar you mount on your monitor "watch" your gaze, guessing pretty accurately what you're looking at. Though Tobii sees eye tracking as a tool for productivity and gaming, Microsoft currently sees it as a purely assistive feature, rather than a productivity tool. We've reviewed two generations of eye-tracking hardware from Tobii--Eye Control was specifically designed for its latest eye tracker, the Tobii 4C--which Tobii positioned first as a productivity assistant, then as a gaming peripheral.
