SMI and WorldViz Bring Eye Tracking to Virtual Reality
BERLIN and TELTOW, Germany, May 16, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
VSS 2014 in Florida: SensoMotoric Instruments and WorldViz show responsive 3D
scenarios incorporating gaze and motion tracking - for realistic analysis and interaction
in VR environments
SensoMotoric Instruments [http://www.smivision.com ] (SMI), a leader in eye tracking
technology, and WorldViz [http://www.worldviz.com ], the industry leader in interactive
visualization and simulation solutions, announce the integration of SMI Eye Tracking
Glasses [http://www.eyetracking-glasses.com ] with the Vizard VR Software Toolkit
[http://www.worldviz.com/products/vizard ], the key 3D content creation software by
WorldViz. The new user-friendly integration allows users to design fully interactive 3D
simulations that incorporate eye and motion tracking - thus providing instant and
objective insights into attention patterns of users. It is perfectly suited for
professional trainers, operational safety instructors, industrial engineers, and designers
who want to conduct realistic evaluations of alternative scenarios or possible hazards in
a safety critical environment - while enabling real-time interaction of the user with the
simulated scene.

SMI Eye Tracking technology for VR offers unmatched benefits for vision and perception
research and gaze interaction in head mounted displays (HMDs), such as the Oculus Rift
Virtual Reality Headset. SMI will show demos of eye tracking in HMDs at the Vision
Sciences Society (VSS) Annual Meeting [http://www.visionsciences.org/meeting.html ], held
in St. Pete Beach, FL, USA May 16-21.
SMI Eye Tracking Glasses [http://www.eyetracking-glasses.com ], leading wearable eye
tracking technology, has gained the confidence of trend setting customers around the globe
such as Google, Daimler, HP, Samsung, the NASA, Max Planck Institute, and many more.
Instant setup and ease of use is paired with unmatched binocular eye tracking performance.
Thanks to optical head tracking targets and the SMI VRPN server, SMI Eye Tracking Glasses
allow partners like WorldViz to incorporate 6D gaze vectors in their own software in order
to display gaze on objects and enable gaze interaction in the virtual reality
applications. Moreover, the eye tracker detects the eye distance of the wearer, which
allows to optimize the 3D experience for individual physiognomies.
WorldViz [http://www.worldviz.com ] is the only 3D visualization company in the world
offering its own interactive 3D content creation software platform, and real-time motion
tracking product series. Its Vizard VR Software Toolkit
[http://www.worldviz.com/products/vizard ] permits users to build applications that provide
them with the best experiences across virtual reality immersive technologies such as
displays and sensors.
Dr. Arnd Rose, Product Manager, SensoMotoric Instruments: "Eye tracking technology
offers undeniable benefits to virtual reality applications - starting from feedback on
visual attention up to numerous gaze interaction possibilities. Integration of SMI eye
tracking into Vizard, the VR community's favoured 3D content creation software, allows
users to successfully employ all these functions."
Matthias Pusch, VP Sales, WorldViz: "Our technology is designed to help people and
businesses understand critical tasks and risks better. The integration of SMI eye tracking
enables an instant response of users to a simulation - naturally triggered by the eye
gaze. Therefore, the integration of SMI Eye Tracking Glasses into Vizard was a logical
step in our development. "
