Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed: Rogue will use Tobii’s eye-tracking technology

Eye-tracking invades triple-A, blockbuster gaming.

Tobii Tech announced today that Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed: Rogue will be the first major game to use Tobii Tech’s eye-tracking technology. That means players will be able to use their own eyes to control characters in the PC version in addition to a mouse and keyboard — bringing a new way to control a game in an era where people are experimenting with how we interact with our entertainment, such as Oculus VR’s Rift virtual reality headset or Microsoft’s new augmented reality HoloLens goggles.
