Benefits that Tobii Eye Tracking bring to the HP Reverb G2 Omnicept Edition:
- Advanced analytics: Tobii Eye Tracking enables detection of eye movements and measurements of pupil dilation (pupillometry,) which can be used together with input from a PPG (photoplethysmography) sensor for measuring heart rate. This data forms the foundation for deep analytics about the human condition, that can be used to evaluate stress levels, discomfort, performance, expertise, and more, in VR training and learning.
- Enhanced graphics and VR system performance: powered by Tobii Spotlight Technology for dynamic foveated rendering, the headset’s screen resolution can be maximized at the specific spot where a user is looking, which enables higher quality visuals and more efficient VR system performance.
- Greater level of immersion: With Tobii Eye Tracking, gaze becomes a natural form of input for the device making even simple interactions such as menu navigation and selection feel seamless and responsive. Additionally, eye tracking can enhance social interaction in virtual meetings and environments. Together with the headset’s new face camera, Tobii Eye Tracking enables real-time avatars to express emotions with life-like facial expressions.
- New opportunities for ISVs: by utilizing Tobii’s and HP’s SDKs (Software Development Kits), ISVs get convenient access to multiple sensor systems and powerful component libraries to quickly develop insightful analytical applications and powerful end user experiences.
