United States is Expected to Hold Significant Market Share
- There is also an improved need for eye-tracking devices in the retail FMCG sector. Eye-tracking devices and their algorithms are utilized to understand consumer behavior at retail stores. The algorithms help resolve what product layout will likely prompt a purchase at a store, how long a customer spends browsing a product, and what packaging gives the most product details for the customer's benefit.
- In March 2023, WiMi Hologram Cloud Inc. announced that it is developing a collaborative eye-tracking data visualization system. With the development of digital image processing technology and computer-supported collaborative work, eye-tracking technology enables the sharing of eye-tracking data and the perception of collaborative information and can be applied to collaborative interaction.
- In January 2022, Panasonic Automotive Systems Company of America, a tier one automotive supplier, unveiled their Augmented Reality HUD (AR HUD) 2.0, the first to include a new patented eye tracking system (ETS) enhancing the AR experience.
- Moreover, EyeTech Digital Systems, a provider of Health AI, announced the launch of EyeOn, an all-in-one, ultra-slim eye gaze tablet, during the Assistive Technology Industry Association conference in Orlando, FL. The EyeOn eye-tracking platform enables people with mobility and motor impairments to select, type, and speak entirely hands-free, using eye movement to control the device that measures just ' thick and weighs under 4.5 pounds.
- Further, in September 2022, Smart Eye announced that more than one million cars with Driver Monitoring System (DMS) software had been produced and sold globally. According to the company, out of the company's 14 automotive OEM customers, six have so far started series production of car models, including Smart Eye's innovative technology.
