Cornell University researchers have invented a sound-based technology to track eye movements and facial expressions without visual surveillance. This innovation could be used in future VR systems to create realistic avatar expressions.
I recently tried an Apple Vision Pro. Amazing technology and an incredible experience, but it’s also a Star Trek sensor suite with 23 sensors and 12 cameras that looks all around you and also at you in order to track your gaze and observe your gestures. Now Cornell University researchers have invented a way to track your eyes and gestures without actually watching them.The navy uses sonar to find submarines or underwater obstacles, and bats use sonar to navigate the world and catch prey.
It’s tiny, cheap, and low-powered, according to Cornell assistant professor Cheng Zhang, so it won’t take too much battery power. The product, of course, is a prototype at this point, but it’s something that could be incorporated into future eyewear such as Meta’s Smart Glasses, or VR headsets that use eye tracking for system navigation and control, like Apple Vision Pro.Paris 2024 Olympics Morocco Miss Out On Historic Qualification Zambia Qualifies
