Whether in the industrial sector, logistics, healthcare or sports – smart glasses are increasingly being used in more areas, and are finding their way into the everyday working environment. They promise greater efficiency, increased safety and new opportunities for training and education. However, anyone looking for the “right” type of smart glasses can quickly end up in a technological maze. AR, VR, Seethrough, Passthrough, AI, Eye Tracking – an overview on models and applications

Find out why the white sclera once gave us an evolutionary advantage and how our gaze behaviour optimises technologies such as autonomous driving and smart glasses. An exciting look at how traits that once evolved for survival are now being used in completely new contexts.

The Apple Vision Pro, Apple’s first headset, has made quite a splash upon its market debut – from spine-tingling commercials and enthusiastic reviews to sharp critiques. But what’s the real feel of the Apple Vision Pro? Our team put it through its paces, examining especially the eye tracking feature pivotal for control and navigation.

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.

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? 

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.
