Introducing EyeMine: a unique free software package from UK-based gamers’ charity SpecialEffect that enables many people with severe physical disabilities to play Minecraft – using only their eyes.
Windows-based EyeMine is free to download for anyone with a Minecraft account and works directly with a number of suitable eye-trackers. It can also be made compatible with any eye tracker that can control a mouse pointer.
The software has a number of ability levels. If players can use eye gaze to select a square button about a quarter of the height of a monitor, they should should be able to walk, fly and attack. More accurate eye control enables players to build, select items from the inventory and chat.
The help of a number of people with physical disabilities has been vital in the development and testing of the software, including Tiago.
