FOVE: The World's First Eye Tracking Virtual Reality Headset

[Mike Lucey]

The FOVE tracks subtle eye movements to allow more precise control in video games and a more immersive VR experience.

*“FOVE could correct one of the key problems faced by VR users: when using a normal VR headset, you control the direction of your gaze with your head, not your eyes.” -Stuff.tv

“Not only does [foveated rendering] mimic human vision in the real world by blurring the areas that the user isn't looking at directly, but it also allows computing resources responsible for rendering a scene to be allocated more efficiently.” - Gizmag*

These two features make the FOVE stand out head and shoulders above currently available devices. It lends itself to a far more natural way of looking around a scene (by moving your eyes) and the system only renders what needs to be rendered.
