I also customised my own fancy-pants BMW sports car in a customer experience app made by ZeroLight. To give you an idea of what that looks like in practice, here's a brief summary of some of the business-y demos I did: I learned how to do manually open and close a train door in an onboard train personnel simulation made by a company called Vobling. Instead, the Pro Eye's main purpose is to serve srs bsns types who want to use its eyeball scouting for things like professional training simulations, or more commercial applications where they need to work out what sorts of things people look at, and for how long. That means you're effectively paying almost double the money for no real reason. You can still buy one to play games with, of course, provided you can stump up the £1499 it costs to actually get one (the non-Eye Pro goes for £799, by comparison), but the few VR games that are compatible with eye-tracking will also need specific Pro Eye support in order to work with it properly, reducing that already practically non-existent pool of games to pretty much a flat zero.
It's not one of their designated gaming VR headsets, nor is it intended to replace the original Vive Pro, which is effectively the same headset minus the eye-tracking. Now, technically the Vive Pro Eye is part of HTC's enterprise VR line-up.
Nevertheless, the tech inside that early Steelseries Sentry sensor bar - Tobii's Eye-X software - left me impressed, and I've always wondered where our paths would cross next.įinally, that day has come, as I went to see HTC's Vive Pro Eye headset the other week, which has Tobii's eye-tracking tech built straight into its googly cartoon eyes. Back then, I had to stick an extra doodad onto the front of my monitor before I actually got it working, and while it was a novel and intriguing idea at the time, it really wasn't a very practical way of controlling the game long-term. Four years ago, I remember sitting down in front of my PC and controlling the camera of Assassin's Creed Rogue with nothing more than the flick of my eyeballs.
