The Eyeware Beam is an app for iOS devices that takes advantage of Face ID to provide a number of tracking features, allowing users to track the movements of their eyes or head while they play a game on PC.
Eyeware’s first consumer product showcased at CES is Eyeware Beam, an app that hopes to make it easier for people to try and track heads, without the need for a dedicated system purchase for each action. Instead, the app uses Face ID to perform the same action.
Using the TrueDepth camera range in iPhones and iPad Pro models, the app uses 3D eye-tracking and head-to-head technology, separate from functions offered in ARKit. The camera front area is used to do both eye tracking and head tracking, which the app then reports to similar software running on a PC.
There are a number of ways users can take advantage of the technology, which Eyeware suggests that may be useful for social media influence to show what they are looking at when creating videos reaction. For gamers, eye examination could help tell them how to play games, allowing bad players to learn to look at different parts of the screen.
The head tracking feature also allows simulator players to use specific functions in some games that can use the data, such as a flight simulator changing camera angle based on how the player tilts his head.
In addition to eye tracking, the app also allows the iPhone or iPad Pro to act as a virtual camera for video calls and game streams, enabling the use of a higher resolution camera as a camera. -web.
Eyeware Beam is currently in private beta, with a public announcement saying it is on the way. The current version works with the iPhone XS, iPhone XR, iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPad Pro, but should work with any model with Face ID when released.
