EyePhone The EyeMenu on a Nokia smartphone. While a user looks at the display, a button is highlighted if it matches the eye position on the display. The highlighted button is ready to be “clicked” with a blink of the eye.

Dartmouth College researchers are giving a whole new meaning to the word iPhone. Ahem Make that Eye-Phone.

Eye-tracking could soon be coming to cell phones, allowing hands-free control of mobile devices that goes way beyond voice activation, Technology Review reports.
