Eye
Tribe's goal is to integrate hands-free controls into devices such as cell
phones, tablets, and feasibly, gaming devices like the 3DS or Vita. While
tracking retina movements isn't groundbreaking in itself, it has generally been
too expensive for consumers and too large for manufacturers to embed in their
products.
Eye Tribe was more than happy to upend these notions at CES 2013, demoing its external and embedded retina-tracking solutions running on Windows 8 tablets. In the video above, CNET's Bridget Carey takes on Fruit Ninja, deftly slicing citrus and berry alike. Retina tracking may not be suitable for every type of game, but once the tech establishes itself as a must-have bullet point for hardware manufacturers, it's only a matter of time before we start to see new game types and mechanics designed around its unusual functionality.
