Roger Triggs wrote this piece for Android Authority yesterday. In it he cites a Samsung patent application, suggesting that the next iteration of the Gear VR headset may boast eye-tracking and face-tracking technology.
Eye tracking and foveated rendering: Keys to VR uptake
I hope it’s true. As I’ve said ad nauseam, eye tracking unlocks foveated rending, which leads to diminished demands on processing, and lower prices for consumers.
It’s always a little iffy though when we use patent applications to suggest that a corresponding innovation is just around the corner. Apple’s myriad patents are just one example of that.
