Google is working on an eye-tracking VR Headset




The Big G(Google) is continuing work on a standalone headset that blends virtual and augmented reality. There are speculations that  the device  functions differently from the Daydream VR headset that will soon be shipped to consumers. It works completely standalone without any smartphone attached.

Additionally, the  product integrates eye tracking technologies and algorithms "to map out the real-world space in front of a user." The result is an experience that's less closed off than current VR headsets and "blurs the line between virtual and augmented reality." From the sounds of it, this merged reality concept seems to resemble that of Microsoft's HoloLens, though I know very little about Google's plans for this product and what features it will offer. The report reveals that some components powering Google's futuristic device are being provided by Movidius, the computer vision company that Intel is purchasing.

Daydream, built into Android 7 Nougat, is designed to deliver a VR experience similar to that of Samsung's Gear VR; you strap your phone to the headset, put it on, and the immersion begins. But it appears that Google executives might partially share the same philosophy as Microsoft, Magic Leap, and Apple's Tim Cook: some link with the outside world is essential. "There’s no substitute for human contact," Cook told  BuzzFeed News earlier this month. "And so you want the technology to encourage that." Daydream VR is for total immersion, but Google's standalone headset could prove to be the company's longer-term bet. Google Glass is dead, but the dream behind it might not be.
