About Eye Tracking & Eye Control Eye tracking is a technology that measures a person’s point of gaze (i.e. where they are looking) and/or eye/head position. Contemporary user-friendly eye tracking is producing valuable results in businesses, homes, and schools, where it aids in research and analysis and is used for interacting with computers as well as with friends and family. Several Fortune 500 companies use Tobii analysis products to test usability of websites and software, and to measure effectiveness of product packaging and commercials. Every day, thousands of people with Cerebral Palsy, Multiple Sclerosis, ALS and other disabilities use Tobii eye controlled devices to communicate without using their voices or hands.
Tobii has advanced eye tracking technology dramatically in recent years and made possible the use of eye tracking in volume applications. A wide array of industries can integrate standard eye tracking components and bring new sophisticated applications to the market in the shortest time.
People can control a computer and make things happen by just looking at it. Eye control can be used as a sole interaction technique, or combined with keyboard, physical buttons and/or voice. For example, the gaming industry has identified eye tracking as a new input device. Other fields of potential use are computer interfaces in consumer, medical, and industrial environments.
Where people look also reflects their thinking and behavior. Eye tracking adds value to vision and neurological diagnostics, as well as market research applications like set-top boxes or information kiosks. As a precise and robust method for determining presence of eyes and the exact position of a person, eye tracking also brings value to fields such as 3D displays, automotive safety and security.
Eye tracking and eye control have a limitless future. Areas like personal computing, automotive safety, medical screening, and education will soon be utilizing eye tracking in ways never thought possible.
