It is beneficial for those people who can't move their arms and legs but can move their eyes, because eyes are directly linked to the brain, New Scientist reported.

A new study published in the journal Science Translational Medicine reports on the development of an experimental device.
Faisal said existing eye tracking software doesn't allow you to gaze and move at the same time and the technology that uses brainwaves to control wheelchairs aren't easy to handle.
The team found that people using the gadget were able to move faster and hassle free among the crowd and the system responds within 10 milliseconds to a person's objective to move.
