;D SpecialEffect invite you to make history at this year�s
Eurogamer Expo! ;D
Video games charity SpecialEffect invites guests at this year�s
Eurogamer Expo to participate in two Guinness World Record�
attempts.
Visitors to this year�s Eurogamer Expo will be invited to set a
new Guinness World Record for the fastest time lap time in a
racing game using only eye-movement sensing controllers. By
participating, all guests will also become part of
SpecialEffect�s second record attempt; the greatest number of
people competing in a videogames tournament using only eye
control technology.

Visitors will need to register at the SpecialEffect stand and
then set their time around the track using just their eyes. The
participant with the fastest lap time over the duration of the
Expo will be crowned the new Guinness World Record holder and
considered for inclusion in the next Guinness World Records
Gamer�s Edition.
It is hoped the record attempts will showcase the advances
SpecialEffect have made in designing and adapting technology to
enable those with a disability or severe illness to be able to
play videogames, whether for therapy, rehabilitation or fun.
�It�s wonderful that SpecialEffect will soon be featured in the
Guinness World Records Gamer�s Edition. The record attempts
should create interest in the charity and draw attention to the
work we do,� commented Mick Donegan, SpecialEffect's Director.
�Our aim is to use technology and game therapy to improve
people�s quality of life. Eyegaze technology, for example, can
really change someone�s life for the better by helping them not
only to communicate, but to play games and enjoy themselves too.
We are very grateful to Guinness World Records for helping us to
arrange the record attempts and equally we would like to thank
the organisers of Eurogamer Expo for allowing us to attempt
these records at their fantastic event, we hope that visitors to
the Expo will join us in setting these all new Guinness World
Records.�
Gaz Deaves, Editor of Guinness World Records Gamer�s Edition �
�The Gamer�s Edition is all about recognising the amazing things
that happen in videogames and we�re pleased to support the great
work that SpecialEffect do for gamers of all abilities. This is
a real chance to be featured in the 2012 Gamer�s Edition: all
you have to do is [i]learn how to control a car using your
eyeballs. It couldn�t be easier![/i]�
Rupert Loman, Managing Director of Eurogamer Expo -"We're
delighted that SpecialEffect are going to be showcasing the
amazing work they do at the Eurogamer Expo once again, and we're
looking forward to hosting their Guinness World Record attempt
at the show. Everyone should check out what they are doing and
get involved!"

Special Effect is a charity dedicated to helping ALL young
people with disabilities to enjoy computer games. For these
children, the majority of computer games are simply too quick or
too difficult to play, and they can help them and their parents
to find out which games they CAN play, and how to adapt those
games that they can't.
Guinness World Records is the universally recognized authority
on record-breaking achievement. First published in 1955, the
annual Guinness World Records book is published in more than 100
countries and 25 languages and is one of the highest-selling
books under copyright of all time with more than 3 million
copies sold annually across the globe. Guinness World Records
celebrated its 50th anniversary edition in 2004, a year after
the sale of its 100 millionth copy. Guinness World Records also
annually publishes the Gamer�s Edition; a records book devoted
solely to the world of computer gaming and high score record
achievements.
The Eurogamer Expo is the UK's biggest dedicated video games
event, brought to you by the people behind Eurogamer - Europe's
leading independent website for gaming news, reviews, previews
and videos. The Expo features playable versions of the most
anticipated games for this Christmas and beyond, and we also
welcome the world's most talented developers, who present their
work directly to the public in our massive auditorium. Plus we
have tournaments, great prizes, independent games, a retro zone
and the GamesIndustry.biz Career Fair. The Eurogamer Expo runs
from 22nd � 25th September 2011 at Earls Court, for more
