Head-tracking virtual reality headset raises $480,650 on Kickstarter

Another virtual reality headset has a successful Kickstarter campaign.

The Fove raised $480,650 on the crowdfunding site, which is almost double its original $250,000 goal. Unlike other upcoming virtual reality initiatives, like the Oculus Rift and Sony’s Project Morpheus for PlayStation 4, the Fove has eye-tracking. This means the helmet not only knows which way your head is tilted but also where exactly your eyes are looking.
