Now use eye movement to play computer games London: In an invention that could go a long way in helping the disabled, students have developed a computer game that can be operated by eye movement. The students, from Imperial College London (ICL), have developed an open source game called 'Pong', where a player uses his eye to move a bat to hit a ball as it bounces around the screen. To play the game, the user wears special glasses containing an infrared light and a webcam that records the movement of one eye. The webcam is linked to a laptop where a computer programme syncs the player's eye movements to the game. The prototype game is very simple but students believe that the technology behind it could be adapted to create more sophisticated games and applications such as wheelchairs and computer cursors controlled by eye movements.

The GPU driver and a 120Hz 3D panel render each scene twice, delivering up to 60 images evenly to each eye, amounting to a total of up to 120 images at any given time. Gamers can experience total immersion into their games from what were previously flat 2D worlds, to true-to-life 3D.

Scientists develop laser security for Internet Bangalore: Scientists at Tel Aviv University have developed a new security system for Internet using a special laser that will help in keeping hackers' prying eyes off for good. It is developed using fiber optic and computer technology that transmits binary lock-and-key information in the form of light pulses. Dr. Jacob Scheue, who came up with this device, said that a shared key code can be unlocked by the sender and receiver, and absolutely nobody else. "Rather than developing the lock or the key, we've developed a system which acts as a type of key bearer. The trick is for those at either end of the fibre optic link to send different laser signals they can distinguish between, but which look identical to an eavesdropper."

Apple's new iPad already sold out Washington: The first run of Apple's latest product, the iPad, has already sold out this weekend and customers who pre-order now will have to wait an extra nine days after the official U.S. launch to get their hands on it. U.S. customers have been able to order the iPad for two weeks now, and either collect it from the store April 3, or have it delivered. On Saturday, Apple set April 12 as the next date for people to get the iPad.
