Some of the Weirder Ideas From CHI 2009

Posted by timothy on from the electrooculography-for-100-points-alex dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Technology Review has a roundup of some of the weirder ideas on show at last week's Computer-Human Interaction conference in Boston. They include a trackball that heats up as you roll over different parts of an image, a pair of goggles that track eye movements using electrooculography, and a miniature robot with a cellphone for its head."

    In Soviet Russia, eye movements track you? That's usually the case. Nothing to see here. Move along please.

    Those won't work. Any Slashdot reader can tell you: The goggles! They do nothing!

    (Yes, even I am groaning as I'm posting this.)
