CeBIT 2012: Tobii and presents a new generation of software for the eye tracking

We have already talked about Tobii on our pages and now the new generation of their eye tracking hardware was announced at CeBIT. Through the sensor Tobii you can control the display of a screen with eye movement.

Apparently what you could try to Hanover was not yet completely refurbished hardware, but only some of future software features grafted on the "old" hardware at CES. Strange as it may seem, from January to now things have started changing at great speed.

The new sensor will be half of the previous in terms of size, and contrary to what has been seen so far will be possible to mass production. Difficult to understand what is meant by "mass", though, since it is unlikely that the sensor is transposed and implemented by a few major producer of PCs and tablet in the near future.

It 'makes sense to imagine, however, sold separately, which has the potential to become interesting for those working with CAD or for gamers who aspire to a new game interface. Obviously this is only valid if Tobii is able to develop its product enough.

A secondary market is the glassless 3D. The sensor can very well indeed by its very nature to evaluate and adapt the user's location with precision 3D viewing without glasses. For gaming in particular would be perfect. The prices are still a mystery, and have all the air to remain high. It will probably take a couple of years, perhaps, to make this technology matures.
