Face and Communication Entertainment, or FACE, is a project from a Colopl company called 360ch that is building a social VR demo collaborating with BinaryVR, Facerig, and FOVE. The FOVE headset, which we covered recently during GDC , provides an eye-tracking solution.
FOVE, the company behind the eponymous eye-tracking VR headset, today announced that they will be showing off a new industrial design at both Comic-Con and SIGGRAPH 2016 where attendees will have a chance to demo the new headset design themselves.

The more major headsets have their issues as well and FOVE has partnered with AMD to demo a new style of rendering that could influence the trajectory of the VR industry as a whole. FOVE developed their own VR headset, which was funded with over $400k in contributions via Kickstarter.
When the UK-based VR studio, Rewind, asked me if I wanted to come and see a demo of its eye-tracking tech demo for the upcoming FOVE 0 headset, I was intrigued. Project Falcon , as this new demo is called, is an on-rails first-person shooter that uses eye-tracking as an aiming system for noisy machine guns and explosive rockets.
Stepping into the closed off demo space at Microsoft’s MWC booth, I was greeted by a pretty familiar mock-up of a few tables and some art on the wall to make it feel like a tastefully decorated home office. Both demos had the headset at max brightness, which can be changed via a rocker switch on the left side.
At SIGGRAPH this year, Nvidia was showing a foveated rendering demo where it only renders high resolution to the sections of the scene that you are actually looking at.

Fove is selling a development kit of their VR headset with inbuilt eye-tracking. It’s believed that this illusion could be done in a way that’s completely invisible to the user; anecdotally, I’ve seen recent demos where this was the case. 7invensun is selling the aGlass eye-tracking development kit for Vive headsets.
The ASUS ZenFone AR is both Tango and Daydream ready, Lenovo showed a new Project Alloy demo, and the cherry on top was the debut of the Vive Tracker for new accessories and the upcoming Deluxe Audio Strap. Eye-Tracking VR Headset FOVE 0 Costs $599, Starts Shipping January 2017 [ Link ].
It was just a simple tech demo but once my brain started getting accustomed to this new capability, I made a game out of seeing how quickly I could eliminate all the bottles by throwing the orb, recalling it the moment it collided, locking eyes on the next target and then immediately throwing it again.
The team has also been working closely as an approved content provider for Oculus (Rift), Valve (Vive), Samsung (Gear VR) and Fove, plus building release VR demos for Autodesk, AMD and The Foundry. Peter Pashley – Head of Development, Ustwo Games.
Its room-scale credentials and those precisely tracked SteamVR motion controllers had been demo’d around the world and its particular flavour of immersive interactive entertainment was a big hit. Throughout 2015, the Rift’s biggest competitor, the HTC Vive had made phenomenal gains in public awareness and word-of-mouth PR.
The HTC Vive is arguably the best out there, but having to buy a souped-up laptop just to run it, paying full price for brief games that feel more like demos, and trailing a huge cable off your head and fumbling to mount trackers on your ceiling…it’s not ideal.

It’s been a long road for FOVE , the creators of the eye-tracking VR headset that hit Kickstarter last summer, but today the company launches pre-orders for their first commercially available product, the FOVE 0. Pre-orders start at a special discount price of $549, available from today until November 9 at 8 a.m.
