Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

But the scholars in question, from Imperial College London, haven’t been slumped on the sofa with a copy of ‘Halo’; instead, they’ve created a way for people to play games using their eyes. They’ve adapted ‘Pong’ using a webcam and infrared glasses that track players’ eye movements. Costing only £25 to put together, its creators hope it will help severely disabled people play and that it could one day be used to control wheelchairs and computer cursors.
