Modded Nintendo Lets You Play Mario With Your Eyes, Poorly [Gaming]

Here’s both completely cool and totally useless: a collection of engineers going by Waterloo Labs in Austin, Texas created a manner of controlling an original NES by simply moving your eyes.

By using electrodes placed around the eyes to track the movement of a players eyeballs, they were ready to jury rig a Nintendo to simply accept eye movement as controller input. And it works!

Of course, controlling a game with the direction you\’re looking makes it pretty tough to go looking straight at the screen, that’s why no person makes it more than halfway through level 1-1 of Super Mario Bros. in this video. But still, impressive work! [Waterloo Labs via Gadget Lab]
