Changing the Game: Tobii Eye Tracking in MSI notebook, Assassin’s Creed® Syndicate, Tom Clancy’s The Division™


STOCKHOLM & LAS VEGAS – Jan. 4, 2016 – Tobii (http://www.tobii.com/), the global
leader in eye tracking, will showcase innovations that will shape how consumers
redefine their computing experience during the 2016 International Consumer
Electronics Show (CES). Through a partnership with Ubisoft®, entirely new gaming
experiences will be added to Assassin’s Creed® Syndicate, letting gamers aim,
shoot and zipline with their eyes. MSI will also start shipments of the world’s
first consumer notebook with integrated eye tracking in early 2016. Attendees
can go hands-on with Tobii’s award winning experiences, including Assassin’s
Creed® Syndicate and the MSI GT72 Dominator Pro Tobii, by visiting its booth at
Tech West #71939 (http://ces16.mapyourshow.com/7_0/exhibitor/exhibitor
-details.cfm?ExhID=T0009406) in the Sands Expo Center, Jan. 6-9.
“In 2015, we made eye tracking available to consumers for the first time. No
matter their first interaction, the response was the same: this feels like the
future,” said Oscar Werner, president of Tobii Tech. “A year later, our
technology can be found in a world-class gaming notebook, two more AAA game
titles and is part of an industry-wide shift in biometric security through
validation from Microsoft to support Windows Hello – all solid testimonies to
the power of eye tracking.”

CES 2016 attendees will be among the first to experience the following:

  · MSI GT72 Dominator Pro Tobii – Already a ‘Best of Computex’ award winner,
this notebook will officially start shipping to consumers in January 2016 and
will be bundled with Tom Clancy’s The Division, Ubisoft’s online open-world RPG
shooter and one of 2016’s most anticipated titles, releasing on March 8. As the
world’s first consumer notebook with integrated eye-tracking, this extension of
MSI’s flagship GT72 line provides gamers with the most realistic and immersive
experiences possible. More information, including when and where consumers can
first try Tobii eye-tracking features with Tom Clancy’s The Division to follow
in early 2016.
  · Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed Syndicate with Tobii Eye-tracking – Building on
the excitement and success of Ubisoft’s ‘Infinite Screen’ implementation in
Assassin’s Creed Rogue (https://youtu.be/Bwfc03vm97o), the newest installment in
the blockbuster franchise expands eye-tracking implementation to let gamers aim
weapons and throw Jacob and Evie Frye’s signature rope launcher with their eyes.
Additionally, light adaption has been built into the experience, where the scene
becomes overexposed when looking into a dark room with a bright window, as if
the character’s vision adjusts. Attendees will be among the first to try these
implementations at their exclusive unveiling during CES. All Tobii eye-tracking
features will be available on PC in late Q1 2016.
  · Windows Hello and Tobii EyeX Software – Recently validated by
Microsoft (http://www.tobii.com/group/news-media/press-releases/2015/12/tobii
-validated-for-windows-hello-login-announces-support-for-facial-recognition/),
Tobii platforms are the only devices in the world that use the same singular
sensor to provide both eye-tracking and facial recognition support for Windows
Hello, empowering device manufacturers with both Windows 10-ready biometric
authentication and eye-tracking functionality for notebooks, Ultrabooks,
desktops, and peripherals. Continuing its commitment to bring consumers a more
natural and intuitive Windows experience with eye-tracking, Tobii will also
showcase its EyeX software, enhancing the computing experience with features
that change how consumer interact with media and their computers.
  · Tobii IS4 Eye Tracking Platform and Tobii EyeChipTM – Unveiled in October
and built on over 15 years of Tobii eye-tracking innovation, the Tobii
IS4 (http://www.tobii.com/tech/products/platforms/) is the world’s most cost
-efficient, lightweight eye-tracking platform and the first to meet integration
requirements for consumer devices. Powering the IS4 Platform is the Tobii
EyeChip (http://www.tobii.com/tech/products/components-system-design/), the
world’s first application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) developed
specifically for eye tracking. A compact, powerful processor, the EyeChip
provides exceptional performance while reducing power consumption, CPU and bus
load, a unique combination that makes it particularly beneficial in VR. Both the
Tobii IS4 Platform and Tobii EyeChip are 2016 CES Innovation Awards
Honorees (http://cesweb.org/innovation.aspx) in the ‘Computer Hardware and
Components’ and ‘Embedded Technologies’ categories, respectively.
