The Magic Lab is Sony's dynamic R&D department that works on finding and prototyping
new technologies which will impact people's gaming experience. The Lab has already given
birth to the PlayStation Move Motion Controller, the EyeToy camera and most recently the
DualShock 4 Controller. The EyeToy creator Richard Marks revealed that the Lab is
currently looking into the eye control technology using SMI's RED-oem eye tracker that
could allow players to use eye movements to steer a game's camera, employ eye gaze as an
aiming or selection mechanism, and also let the gamers have more intelligence as they'll
know what the other players are looking at.

SMI's flexible RED-oem platform and powerful Software Development Kit (SDK) allows
enterprise customers to easily integrate remote eye tracking into their own applications
and products. The RED-oem eye tracker provides accurate gaze, pupil and position
information and guarantees large freedom of head movement for the game players.
Christian Villwock, Director of SMI's OEM Solutions Business: "We believe that gaze
interaction creates an amazing new experience for gaming and we're excited to work with
global players like Sony to make our Eye Tracking Technology ready for the gaming market."
