AR and VR are gearing up for a giant leap forward thanks to advancements in eye-tracking technology. Historically, the technology has been used to collect information for scientific and business applications, such as market research and medical diagnostics. billion in the next four years, reports Bloomberg Technology.
Creators like Avi Shapiro of USC’s Institute for Creative Technologies are even working on ways to bring realistic avatars into VR content to enhance the immersion that much more. Shapiro’s project is technology that rapidly produces good avatars with accessible technology, but it has some work ahead when it comes to facial scans.
According to The Eye Tribe’s website, its technology, allows “eye control for consumer devices that enables simplified and enhanced user experiences. The Eye Tribe intends to become the leading provider of eye controltechnology by licensing to vendors in the consumer technology industry.”
He works at FOVE which is making a VR headset with eye-tracking, but wanted to speak to me on his own behalf about some of the deeper philosophical questions and conceptual frameworks around the types of intimate data that will become available to VR headsets. What type of transparency and controls should users expect from companies?
Virtual reality has figured prominently at the event in recent years of course, quickly rising to become one of the shows hottest technologies. The following year at CES 2014, Oculus had to share the immersive technology limelight with a slew of new startups who had appeared in the wake of Oculus’ success. The OSVR HDK Headset.
The glowing orb could be recalled by pressing a button on the controller too, so I could throw the ball and the instant it collided with a bottle I could recall it back to my hand like Thor’s hammer.
