Eyefluence has an eye-popping technology straight out of science fiction. The Silicon Valley company is announcing it has raised $14 million for its eye-tracking technology that lets you use the gaze of your eyes to control augmented reality and virtual reality devices.

The company hopes to position itself as an essential user-interface tool for controlling AR glasses and VR headsets, which are expected to be a $150 billion industry by 2020, according to tech advisor Digi-Capital. Right now, it has prototypes that it hopes to license to some very large companies that could build products around the technology.
