I suspect Pimax are using the Kickstarter to mostly build more hype and recruit the Kickstarter backers as brand ambassadors.
Heck we are willing to fork over 600£ for a unknown here.
For that plan to work their product needs to work as well as their customer support and communication channels.
As for eye tracking the main probem is distance and focus.
It should actually be a surprisingly simple device compared to what one would think they hear eyetracking.
But with vr headsets the cameras for eye tracking are mounted half an inch or less from the eye itself and fixed.
It won't have to account for you turning your head or anything like that. Just throw an IR lens on a camera like those front facing ones on cell phones (although they don't need to be that high resolution) Ok gross simplifction on the engineering involved.
But it should be a far more controlled environment than what the Tobii eyetracker that I had for head tracking before I got vr.
Which would stop working when I learned back in my chair.
The real magic might be more about the software than the hardware. |
