Tobii Tech is banking that 2015 will be the year of consumer eye-tracking. The company announced today it will debut new technology for using the tracking of your eye movements to control games and other devices at the 2015 International CES event in Las Vegas next week.

The technology is promising, and if it catches on in games, it could give older user interfaces like the computer mouse some real competition. Tobii announced last year that it was teaming up with gaming gear brand SteelSeries to launch eye-tracking wearables for games. The first fruits of that alliance, the SteelSeries Sentry, is shipping in January 2015.
