The study explored the employment of associate in accessible eye tracer with keyboard and mouse input devices for video games. An interactive game has been developed using unity with multiple balls objects and by hitting they could collect more point for each player. It has been used different techniques to hit the balls using mouse, keyboard, and mixed. Eye tracker input has been help to increase the performance of collected the player points. The research explains how the eye tacking techniques can be used in widely in video game and it is very interactive. Finally, we examine the use of visual observation in relevancy the keyboard and mouse input control and show the difference. Our results indicate that the employment of a watch huntsman will increase the immersion of a computer game and considerably improve the video game technology.
