Eyes First - Double Up

A lot of people out there have lost the mobility required to use a Windows 10 computer in the traditional way, or they were never born with it in the first place, and as such, eye tracking technology was implemented in order to help them. Testing out such technology is no easy task, especially when you are looking for volunteers, so releasing an eye tracker tester in the form of a game anyone can download is the next best thing. That would be the case with Eyes First - Double Up, a neat tool that emulates the 2048 game in order to test out Windows 10 compatible eye trackers.

Eyes First - Double Up is a puzzle based on a grid that gradually fills with numbered tiles, and after each move one of the empty tiles will fill with a value of 2 or sometimes 4.  The four arrow buttons (up, down, left, right) slide all the tiles on the board in the direction of the arrow until they encounter the edge of the grid or another tile, where adjacent tiles of the same number will double and combine into a single tile when they collide.  The goal is to trigger a combination that equals 2048. But if you reach 2048 don't stop there, higher combinations are possible. if the board fills up and none of the adjacent tiles contain the same numbers, the game is over.

While the game may not actually bring anything new to the game mechanics itself, the fact that it can be controlled using Windows 10 compatible eye trackers is indeed something of a novelty. More so, if you like the game but don't have a compatible eye tracker , you should know the game can just as well be played using a mouse, keyboard or a touch.

Eyes First - Double Up is a simple game to play while also being challenging the more you play it, and the currently unique method of controlling the game makes it all the more exciting.
