You wouldn’t believe your eyes when you see this, these guys have built a DIY “eye” controller for the NES, controlling Mario with the movement of their eyes. Certainly, this seems to be going in the right direction and could be a great way to develop it for other applications such as wheelchair controller.
What’s next? Control a car with your ey

They didn’t have the XL size I wanted so I had to pick another one, the
Here’s a great way to add your own DIY NES arcade machine to your home, make one yourself!
Inside is an old PC and a 17″ LCD monitor. The back of the cabinet has two USB ports and two NES controller ports. You can connect regular, un-modded NES controllers and play with those or use the joystick and buttons on the control panel.
