Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Playing Assassin’s Creed with Tobii’s new laptop eye tracker — CES 2016”.
Hi, I’m adding with the verge leaping around London with my eyes, courtesy of Swedish tech company Toby Toby is a familiar name at CES. You can usually wander by its booth and do something like play asteroids with its eye tracking hardware. But until now that’s likely all you could do. Toby was a big name in the business and research world, but its consumer hardware was pretty limited unless you were a hardcore eye tracking fans.
This year, though, toby is making its first appearance in a real laptop. It’S an MSI gaming machine and that little strip right above the hinge is actually a set of cameras that track where your pupils are going. The games for this laptop are a little more subtle than asteroids one of Toby’s. Big titles is Assassin’s Creed syndicate, which is actually the second assassins creed game with eye tracking last time around. It was just an awkward way to move the camera, but now it’s an intuitive targeting system for everything, from your gun to your grappling hook, no matter how cool this is, I tracking is still an add on to these games, not a fundamental part of them, but That’S not the case for another medium virtual reality. Toby thinks that being able to separate your eye movement from your head movement is a game changer and it’s created little cameras that can fit inside a headset. Instead of tracking your eyes, they actually track a reflection of your eyes. Toby says that has at least one partner for this, but we haven’t seen much actually come out of it. Yet so, while I tracking actually break through to become a major part of VR, we don’t know but we’re more than willing to keep watching.
