PlayStation VR has commonly been heralded as the headset that will bring VR gaming into the mainstream. But one Tokyo-based startup, FOVE Inc., feels that all the currently available headsets are missing a key component, the ability to track the user’s eye movement.

FOVE’s headset will be the first commercially available set of VR goggles to include this feature. The headset tracks the user’s eye movement via small infrared cameras. According to FOVE’s founder Yuka Kojima, by tracking the user’s eye movement, motion sickness will be reduced, graphical performance will be improved and users will be able to have eye to eye contact with others.

Although current VR headsets can offer players incredibly immersive experiences, tracking the user’s eye movement opens up a new world of possibilities. It’s commonly said that the eyes are the “window to the soul”, one’s eye movement can betray intent, reactions, and display emotion.

When FOVE was founded back in May 2014, Kojima opened up a Kickstarter campaign that eventually gathered a total of $13 million from investors including Samsung, Colol Inc., Foxconn Technolgy and Taizo Son.

FOVE will launch the first batch of headsets to developers and enthusiasts for pre-order on the 2nd of November at a price of $600, the same as their competitor the Oculus Rift.

Kojima who is a former associate producer at Sony believes the FOVE headset is up to two years ahead of its competitors.Although the technology behind eye tracking is nothing new, FOVE seeks to make a difference via their software. The company is currently amassing a vast database of eye movement which they will use to improve their tracking algorithms.
