A Built-In Eye Tracker Makes A Projection Screen

Tweet

Students from the University of Texas at Austin have created a virtual reality gaming setup in which the player cannot tear their eyes away from the action using a pico projector and an eye-tracking camera. The camera tracks a player’s line of vision, to move the screen while gamer’s eyes are moving.

The students have tested the system with a first-person shooter game, which this system seems perfectly suited for, as well as a flight simulator where the player controls the pitch and roll of an aircraft by moving their head.
