You can target enemies in Ubisoft’s The Division using Tobii’s eye-tracking technology

Ubisoft’s Tom Clancy’s The Division is one of the biggest video games coming out this spring. And Tobii hopes to make it stand out even more with a new eye-tracking technology that lets the player target enemies with his or her eyes. It takes aim assist to a whole new level.

Tobii has created a next-generation user input system for controlling games using your eyes. Wherever you look on the screen, you can make things happen just by gazing at the right place. Eye-tracking cameras are built into devices — such as the Tobii EyeX peripheral, the SteelSeries Sentry, or the MSI GT72 S gamer laptop — that can track the movements of your eyes. The eye-tracking system is nothing less than an attempt to make the mouse and keyboard obsolete, and it could be a very useful user interface too for new devices such as augmented reality glasses and virtual reality headsets.
