Working on eye tracking technology since the last decade, and showcasing the Gaze UI for windows 8 last CES, they are ready to set their first consumer level eye tracking device in front of the world at the upcoming CES 2013, which brings the eye tracking functionality to any windows 8 based PC.It can scroll, zoom, navigate and select by tracking the viewers eyeball.
Attached at the bottom of the screen, connected with a USB cable, it is much like the Tobii PCEye, for the
users with impaired motor skills. However, the Rex is to be used in combination with the keyboard , mouse and touch controls, and not replace them.
This year, only 5000 limited edition units will be prepared by Tobii , whose pricing is yet to be announced.However, Rex developer edition is currently available for devs to create and improvise various apps functionable with it. It costs around $995 for the devs.
The pics currently shared by Tobii are that of the developer edition, but I expect the consumer edition to be a bit slimmer, glossier.XD
CES 2013 is what we got to wait for again!
