South Korea’s tech giant Samsung Electronics Co. on Tuesday showcased a mouse for disabled people that tracks the movements of the eyes.

Dubbed EYECAN+, the device allows users to type and perform other functions just by using their eyes. It is an upgraded version of Samsung’s previous eye-tracking mouse that had to be worn like glasses.

“EYECAN+ requires the user to be situated between 60 cm and 70 cm from the monitor, and does not require the user to be in any specific position, as it can be used while seated or lying down,” Samsung said. “Calibration is only required for first-time users, as EYECAN+ will remember each user’s eye characteristics.”

Users can move the cursor on the screen through the movement of their eyes, and scroll or click by staring at a specific folder or link for a moment.

“EYECAN+ is the result of a voluntary project initiated by our engineers, and reflects their passion and commitment to engage more people in our community,” a Samsung official said. (Yonhap)
