# Futuristic Eye-Tracking Headwear The Fove Head-Mounted Display Contains Eye-Tracking Technology By Rahul Kalvapalle | Published 2014-07-28 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fove References: [gizmag](http://www.gizmag.com/fove-head-mounted-display-eye-tracking/33126/) & [fove-inc](http://fove-inc.com/) The Fove is a futuristic device, developed by a Tokyo-based startup of the same name, that combines a [head-mounted display and eye tracking technology](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/utrack-ar). The Fove uses a number of embedded sensors to track the wearer's head orientation, and packs a gyroscope, accelerometer and magnetometer sensor. The integration of eye-tracking technology is what truly makes the Fove stand out however, as it enables a whole new level of user interaction. The Fove's eye-tracking capability allows users to control things with their gaze alone. For example, if used in conjunction with a [video game](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hyperx-eeg-headset), wearers will be able to use their eyes to aim weapons. The Fove also claims to offer a greater level of visual immersion than other [head-mounted displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lightweight-vr-headset). For one, it can actually adjust the focus of a scene by determining where the user is looking. This mimics real-world human vision by blurring areas that aren't being looked at directly. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.2/10 - Popularity: 14% | Activity: 45% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Eye-tracking Technology:** The integration of eye-tracking technology in the Fove head-mounted display opens up opportunities for new forms of user interaction and control. - **Head-mounted Displays:** The Fove's advanced features, such as focus adjustment based on eye movement, disrupt the traditional visual experience provided by head-mounted displays. - **Virtual Reality Gaming:** The Fove's eye-tracking capability revolutionizes gaming experiences by allowing users to control actions and aim weapons using their gaze alone. ### Who This Affects Most - **Augmented Reality:** The Fove's eye-tracking technology can enhance augmented reality experiences by providing more accurate and intuitive interaction with virtual content. - **Healthcare:** The Fove's eye-tracking technology can be applied in healthcare settings for assistance with diagnostics, rehabilitation, and assistive technologies. - **Market Research:** The Fove's eye-tracking technology allows for powerful market research applications, providing insights into consumer behavior and attention patterns. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Autofocus-Providing Eyewear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hightech-autofocus-eyewear.md) - [Motion Tracking Eye Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magtrack.md) - [Industry-Leading VR Headsets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vive-focus-vision.md) - [Athletic Training Eyewear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/falconframes.md) - [Ultra-Wide Head-Mounted Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/goovis-art.md) - [Retina-Level VR Headsets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retinalevel-vr-headset.md) - [Wearable Eye Trackers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tobii-glasses-x.md) - [Compact Featherlight VR Headsets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bigscreen-beyond-headset.md) - [Eye-Controlled Rescue Helmet](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/argus-ar.md)
