The addition of eye-tracking injects a new layer of interactivity to the user experience. Voice commands, navigation, interactivity with 3D objects, virtual collaboration; almost every aspect of the HoloLens experience has been fine-tuned and upgraded. Image Credit: Microsoft. First off, it’s noticeably more comfortable.
How much do you know about Microsoft XR for enterprises? While Microsoft might not have the same selection of proprietary hardware solutions as companies like Meta, the company is still deeply invested in extended reality. Want to learn more about Microsofts XR Vision?
Under the hood of any quality virtual, augmented, or mixed reality head-mounted display (HMD) is a hand and eyetracking platform designed to run a human-computer interface (HCI) capable of seamlessly joining man with machine and delivering seamless immersive experiences.
Unfortunately, the only Quest headset to offer eyetracking is the Quest Pro which is now discontinued , but theres a good chance Meta will add eyetracking capabilities to future products. Already, its experimenting with advanced tracking solutions, like EMG wrist bands introduced with the Meta Orion prototype.
As demand for metaverse environments continues to grow, the presence of Meta in the construction space is sure to evolve. Perhaps the go-to solution for mixed reality innovation in the construction space, Microsoft provides businesses with a unique opportunity to combine real and virtual landscapes.
Apple delivered optimised MR features, including improved spatial capture, hand-tracking, key productivity enhancements, virtualenvironments, avatars, and more. The mouse integration also comes with Magic Keyboard optimisation that reveals the location of the physical keyboard when fully immersed in a virtualenvironment.
Retailers also leverage VR to view and test products in virtualenvironments, even before they are built. Healthcare : Companies are using VR to train for critical surgeries, streamline patient data, and check vitals with face, hand, and eye-tracking tools. Sectors Adopting VR Remote Collaboration.
These take full advantage of the device’s unique capabilities, leveraging features like spatial tracking and hand/eyetracking. My favorite options so far are the Zoom app for the Vision Pro , with integrated spatial video, and 3D object sharing, and the Microsoft Teams app.

With eye and hand tracking, it’s possible to immerse users in extended reality experiences like never before, unlocking more convenient interactions. The question is, how do you choose the right hand and eyetracking technology vendor? However, some eyetracking will be a lot more advanced than others.
One particularly impressive thing about the Quest Pro’s performance is the integrated eye-tracking capabilities, which allow for foveated rendering. This ensures you can make the most of your battery life and processing power, as it renders the pixels in front of your eyes with more detail.
The tiny dots that you see are the LEDs for eyetracking The FOV was larger than usual (e.g. This flying fluid was reflective, and on it, I could see the perfect reflection of the virtualenvironment I was in , including my own avatar, which was moving live. The lenses of the device.
Although, an emerging presence in the development space is hand and eyetracking. AR/VR/MR headsets are increasingly equipped with hand and eyetracking technology. Previously, commercial XR devices like the Meta Quest had experimented with hand-tracking features which improved as the device matured.
Advanced Spatial Computing Experiences Eye and hand-tracking solutions use spatial computing concepts to make interacting with computer systems more natural and intuitive. In the past, many virtual reality headsets, such as the Meta Quest 2, relied heavily on controllers to allow users to navigate virtualenvironments.
Immersed says Visor features the XR2+ Gen 2 chipset , 4K micro-OLED displays, color passthrough, as well as eyetracking and hand tracking for a Vision Pro style gaze-and-pinch input system. Almost all of the three minute walkthrough takes place in a virtualenvironment, with only the last ten seconds showing passthrough.
Based in Germany, ThyssenKrupp is a European national conglomerate that just announced a partnership with the Microsoft Hololens. A psychologist well-versed in GTP has turned her research to virtual reality and its effects on consciousness – starting with dreams. FOVE, THE EYE-TRACKING HMD: FINAL SPECS AND PRE-ORDER DATES.

Advrty wants to offer a new avenue of monetization for virtual reality developers which doesn’t involve full field-of-view pop-up ads with a platform aimed at designing and incorporating nonintrusive product placement. The core of its platform is based on the ability to accurately track user views and interactions.
As the technology we use to traverse the digital environment grows more advanced, these complementary solutions are evolving too. Today, we’re examining some of the most significant trends influencing the market for hand and eye-tracking technologies in the XR world. Assistive communication tools are also becoming more common.
In her 2020 article, she quoted Ryan Gill, Co-Founder and CEO of Crucible , who explained how Direct-to-Avatar (D2A) business models sold goods and products directly to avatars to bypass supply chain management, namely in “social or competitive virtualenvironments like games or open worlds where consumers project themselves as an avatar.”
Microsoft has emerged as perhaps the most significant market leader in the Mixed Reality headset and technology environment. However, Microsoft offers access to spatial sound experiences in a range of other modes as well. However, Microsoft offers access to spatial sound experiences in a range of other modes as well.
For the most part, your digital identity on channels like Microsoft Teams and Zoom is likely to consist of a face and a set of shoulders. However, some companies have implemented hand-tracking to convey arm movements in digital landscapes, too. A virtual body that moves awkwardly could be more off-putting than an avatar with no legs.
For instance, headsets like the new Apple Vision Pro allow users to interact more effectively using eye-tracking sensors with a scalable content interface. For instance: Microsoft: A pioneer in metaverse spatial computing and XR technologies, Microsoft is one of the market leaders aligning the XR and spatial technology spaces.
For instance, a more immersive virtual learning experience can help users to develop new skills faster. In the training landscape, the realistic simulations enabled by hand and eyetracking can help build muscle memories and increase knowledge retention. This helps to reduce miscommunication and improve social cohesion.
Co-founder Jinha Lee developed pioneering AR interfaces at MIT, Microsoft, and Samsung and then also showed them at a TED talk. Jinha had worked at Microsoft Research and he had offers to go back to Microsoft Research and Google and all these other companies and do serious hefty work for them on AR.

It’s good news by the way that there is continuous IPD adjustment (and with a wider range than before) and that thanks to eyetracking sensors, the headset can tell you if you have positioned it well on your head. There is also an eye-relief dial, so you can put the lenses very close to your eyes, for added field of view.
It is clear that it is not a Quest 2, since it doesn’t feature mind-blowing features like big FOV or eye-tracking or full-fingers controllers, so it is something like a Quest S. Its 1,600 × 1,600 LCD display per-eye, together with eyetracking and 5G make me dream of great experimentations, especially in the enterprise sector.
Alan: One of the tools that I think we’re just starting to see come online is eyetracking and motion tracking, where we’re really able to get data points about humans that we’ve never had before. And we challenge them with virtualenvironments, for example, to see how they react.

The way that VR works, you can both be in the same virtualenvironment, working on the same virtual engine, and actually doing call-outs and instructing each other. We've been approached by some of the bigger headset manufacturers -- Microsoft, Hololens and Magic Leap -- to build exclusively for them. Or for Coca-Cola?
