Ocular-Operated Gaming

The EyeX Dev Kit Was Unveiled by Tobii Technology at CES 2014

— January 12, 2014 — Tech
Tobii Technology brought out its EyeX Dev Kit and with it, a possible new era in personal computing.

The EyeX Dev Kit is just what it says -- a kit for third party developers to work out a way for eye-tracking to be used for gaming. The kit was released so there will be available games when SteelSeries releases a computer with the technology.

Obviously there are a lot of questions regarding the practicality of using sight for gaming, which requires fast reflexes and developed motor skills but they are saying that, "If you can hit a link or an object with your finger on the screen, you can also hit it with your eyes." The technology is said to have similar fidelity as touch technology. If this is true then gaming will have a whole new dimension added to it in the near future.

Trend Themes
1. Eye-tracking Technology - The development of EyeX Dev Kit by Tobii Technology opens up new possibilities for using eye-tracking in various applications beyond gaming.
2. Enhanced Gaming Experience - The integration of eye-tracking technology in gaming has the potential to revolutionize the gaming experience, providing a new level of immersion and control.
3. Expansion of Human-computer Interaction - The advancement of eye-tracking technology paves the way for innovative human-computer interaction techniques, opening up opportunities for hands-free control and increased accessibility.
Industry Implications
1. Gaming - The gaming industry can leverage eye-tracking technology to create more immersive and innovative gameplay experiences, attracting a broader audience.
2. Healthcare - Eye-tracking technology has the potential to revolutionize healthcare by enabling hands-free control and precise eye movement tracking for diagnostics, surgery, and rehabilitation.
3. Advertising - With eye-tracking technology, the advertising industry can gather more accurate data on consumer attention and engagement, leading to more targeted and effective advertising campaigns.
