drag2share: This Video Of Super Precise Eye-Tracking Software Is Insanely Impressive
Movement-tracking technology isn't new, but it's certainly ramping up.
The Xbox Kinect tracks your entire body using a proprietary camera, and Samsung integrated what it calls Smart Scroll into the Galaxy S4, which isn't so much eye-tracking as it is recognizing head-tilt.
There's the Leap Motion, which wants to make your computer work the those in the movie "Minority Report." And you can even control your iPhone by moving your head (after you set up a few things).
Eye-tracking could be the next big thing when it comes to motion-sensing technology, and it seems that Israeli startup Umoove is on its way to incorporating it in lots of future tech.
Umoove — which has raised around $3 million in total funding, according to CrunchBase — burst onto the scene in a big way with an iOS game called Umoove Experience that demos its super precise face-tracking technology.
The game uses your phone's front-facing camera to track your head movements as you fly around and gather potions. It's fun, but more importantly, it's accurate. And that's where Umoove's next bit of technology comes in.
The company will unveil new eye-tracking technology in the next few months that uses the existing camera in your phone or tablet.
"Eye tracking is mainly about understanding the user without him even actively interacting," Umoove'! s CEO Yi tzi Kempinski told Business Insider in an email.
