Here's what industry leaders are saying about the benefits of Eye Tracking in VR:
//
David Munro, Senior Consultant, Cityscape Digital
"At Cityscape we work with architects and developers across the real-estate development lifecycle, assisting in developing vision and facilitating design decisions. We help communicate future developments to a wide range of stakeholders including investors, planners and the general public. We help to engage with the local communities and help to sell and let real estate before it has been built. To do all of this requires understanding of what people want, how they interact with spaces and what they require from their environment.
HTC VIVE’s new VIVE Focus 3 Eye Tracker is an important addition to our workflow and enables us to better understand what works and what doesn’t in a design. From a planning perspective it helps us to validate the visual impact of a newly proposed building from a human perspective. From a vision and early design viewpoint it helps us to connect with our end user and appreciate what is important to them. This leads to real engagement with the audience and ultimately enables us to build better places."

Dmitry Dudarev, CTO, MedVR
“As the developers of the innovative XR-Clinic platform, dedicated to train medical personnel’s professional skills in realistic simulation environment without any risk to patient, we always pay high attention to the realism of what is happening and the analysis of the behavior of all subjects in the moment of training.
The new VIVE Focus 3 Eye Tracker and VIVE Focus 3 Facial Tracker give us a powerful tool not only to increase immersiveness of the interaction of trainees when working in a team, but also the ability to carry out detailed analysis of each person’s performance during the training scenario.
We work with over 100 clinical organisations and are expanding constantly. Our advanced training software means we can support a wide geography from a centralized location, providing instant feedback to users without physically being in the same place. The new VIVE Trackers will allow us to develop new simulators in various areas of nursing, emergency medicine, and much more.”
