Hi all:

Researchers at Stanford have created a new secure input system
system that watches your eyes scan a visual keyboard to determine 
what text to input into secure fields, such as a password field or 
an ATM PIN. 

The benefits of such an approach come chiefly from defeating two 
common ways of snagging PINs and passwords: keylogging and good 
old-fashioned over-the-shoulder snooping, also known as 
"shoulder surfing."  

Take a look at the 'gaze tracking system' at

There is also a research paper available at
