Get ready for an impressive device for training, education, and documentation – the VPS Lite Unit! With its compact size and lightweight yet robust design, it sets new standards in mobile eye tracking. It will be available from autumn 2023, offering the wearer unique wearing comfort and unrestricted freedom of movement.
For most users our VPS 19 glasses work out of the box without any calibration, providing an auto-calibrated gaze accuracy that is good enough for many applications. For situations that require a personalized calibration, we provide a simple one-point calibration procedure that estimates personalized κ angles for each eyeball and improves the typical gaze accuracy to below 1°.
Soldiers, special forces, police officers – anyone in the field – often have only fractions of a second to make decisions. With the help of advanced mobile eye tracking, operational forces can train their attention and enhance perception. Nils Berger, Founder & CEO of Viewpointsystem, explains how the technology leads to a better understanding of human perception, as well as increased efficiency and security during operations.
Imagine it’s the middle of the week, actually a normal working day, but instead of daily business it says “Inspire Day” on your calendar. Once a month at Viewpointsystem it is exactly like that. Then it’s time for “business as unusual”.
The metaverse is one of the big buzzwords these days and not much more than a vision today. Many companies are committed to shaping the metaverse. And so are we. This is because eye tracking and, in particular, our Digital Iris technology offer the possibility of emulating authentic human gaze behavior on avatars. We talked to Alejandro Gloriani, R&D Senior Developer in the Advanced Technology Team at Viewpointsystem, about this.
Easy and uncomplicated operation is crucial for smart glasses to be accepted by employees and to survive successfully in the company. For this reason, we are constantly working on making our smart glasses even more easy and intuitive to use. Today, we would like to introduce four features that make the VPS 19 better optimized for real-world use.
Even if the metaverse is still a future version: most experts agree, it will keep us much busier than we can imagine today, also in terms of significant performance improvements in the industry. Which application areas will offer the greatest potential for manufacturing companies in the short and medium term?
A month has passed since ETRA 2022, the best and most renowned eye tracking conference of its kind. The aim of ETRA (full name: ACM Symposium of Eye Tracking Research & Applications) is to bring together researchers across disciplines to advance eye tracking research and its applications. And this year, the organizers and everyone contributing really succeeded in doing that in every respect.
Eye impairments such as one eye with very low visual acuity, the loss of one eye, a cataract in just one of the eyes (opacity in the lens), strabismus (the eyes do not properly align with each other when looking at an object), amblyopia (lazy eye), anisocoria or differently sized pupils (one of the most unique traits of David Bowie) can lead one to wonder if eye tracking is still possible.
