Laptop manufacturer Lenovo recently showed off a laptop that can be controlled with your eyesight. Swedish company Tobii created the technology that uses a sensor bar to track your movements using the Windows 7 operating system. The prototype lets users look off screen to pull up a menu bar and makes pixel-precise selections wherever you look. In other news, astronauts aboard the Discovery space shuttle are using a humanoid robot to work on the International Space Station. The Robonaut 2 lives on board with the astronauts and will be affixed to a pedestal from which it can work. Engineers hope to ship its legs later this year. And finally, Google Street view is making its way off-road. Google took its cameras through attractions in France, Ireland and the United States. If you own private property, you can join Google’s partner program and be added to Street View yourself.
