Making
Future Reality
We work on what comes next: breaking down the barrier between man and machine, between the real world and the digital. We enable interaction that is intuitive, practical and quite simply enjoyable.
The future of
digital interaction
At Viewpointsystem, we combine pioneering technology with scientific know-how in the field of gaze research. We manufacture both the hardware and the software.
We stand for disruptive technologies that enable intuitive and even subconscious communication between humans and machines. The eye as a natural human-machine interface is the decisive key to this.
We develop and produce internationally awarded smart glasses based on eye tracking. We make it easier for customers worldwide to collaborate at a distance, such as with remote support and remote maintenance. In the fields of research and analysis, we provide precise data to better understand human behavior.
We value collaboration, and offer interested companies, access to our technology components, so that together, we can make the future a reality.
Making Future Reality
Our aspiration is nothing less than a new kind of interaction between humans and machines. By measuring and digitizing what people see, perceive and feel, we make possible a completely new way of interacting with the digital world. Post-interface, we then communicate without conscious effort, without actively communicating, and without having to make conscious decisions. The result: machines that we understand and that assist us, intuitively and in real time.
We are writing history
Our roots are in research. As a research and consulting spin-off of the Vienna University of Natural Resources and Applied Life Sciences, Viewpointsystem has been conducting scientific eye tracking studies for more than two decades, primarily on accident prevention in the field of traffic and mobility. This culminated in 2001 in the prototype of an original pair of eye-tracking glasses for scientific purposes.
In 2016, we achieved a real breakthrough with eye hyper-tracking technology, which enabled the recording of gaze directions as well as of unconscious perception for the first time.
Since then, we have been continuously developing our smart glasses and the underlying technology platform to make our vision of intuitive communication between humans and machines a reality.
Change of Ownership
Nils Berger takes over Viewpointsystem as owner and CEO. He sees the potential of eye tracking technology for smart glasses and as a human-machine interface (HMI) and transitions Viewpointsystem from a science spin-off to a company.
CES Innovation Honoree Award 2017
The VPS 16 eye tracking glasses attract attention at CES and wins the coveted US award as a top product in the “Wearables” category for their Eye Hyper-Tracking, which is suitable for everyday use.
EU Horizon 2020 funding
We receive EU funding of over 2.3 million euros for our Digital Iris technology. This is one of the highest funding amounts to date in the category of “Open Disruptive Innovation”.
Awards, Awards
The new VPS 19 smart glasses win the renowned CES Innovation Honoree Award 2019 in the “Wearables” category. Another success: the IOT/WT Innovation World Cup in the “Industrial” category.
Move to Technology Centre Seestadt
We move Production and Engineering to the City of Vienna’s Industry 4.0 showcase project. Since then, all production steps have been carried out under one roof.
The VPS 19 goes into serial production
Viewpointsystem starts serial production at Technology Centre Seestadt. We rely on additive manufacturing. 3D printing shortens our innovation cycles and enables us to manufacture more independently.
VPS 19 in use worldwide
Customers on three continents use our smart glasses. And… we are the only European company named in the prestigious Gartner report as “Cool Vendors in Frontline Worker Technologies 2021”. Read more
Launch Digital Iris Inside
We are honored with the CES Innovation Honoree Award and the Living Standards Award for our new sensor technology. The sensors make it easy to integrate eye tracking into other devices. Read more
Roll-out of the Digital Iris
We make our technology components available as a supplier. The bio-metric data obtained will be accessible for other wearable products. The dream of completely intuitive communication between man and machine is within reach.
