The new competitive gaming lessons program Alienware Academy is now open to the public to assist with Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, and it supports Tobii eye tracking for analytics. Several professional competitive players will offer video lessons and a special challenge map allows you to practice them.
Tobii makes eye-tracking hardware, and wants to change the way we interact with our computers, from unlocking and navigating the desktop, to playing the latest games. We gave it a try.
Described by its maker as a "virtual, visual coach," the new Sentry Eye Tracker from SteelSeries aims to help gamers hone their skills, training them to process on-screen information in the most efficient way possible.
Tobii wants to make a wearable worth using. To do so, Tobii intends to do a lot of eye tracking research. Tobii Glasses 2 are aimed at researchers rather than consumers, in hopes that new gaze data will improve the user experience.
Tobii has announced a partnership with SteelSeries to release its eye-tracking sensor this summer and has also slashed the price of its dev kit to $195.
With sci-fi developments like Tobii's Rex camera becoming more common, it could be just a matter of time before the mouse and trackpad are consigned to the trashcan.
First it was the mouse, then touch control, then motion. On Friday, we got our hands on Tobii's new eye-tracking laptop, which could potentially eliminate the need for the mouse by keeping tabs on what you're looking at with astounding accuracy.
