According to a report today in TechRadar, Microsoft has just accepted FOVE into its Microsoft Ventures program.
FOVE Inc. is a company that makes the world’s first virtual reality headset with eye-tracking.
The eye-tracking feature seems to take this headset a bit farther along than where the Oculus Rift is today.
“By tracking gaze position in real time it is possible to interact with and control objects on the screen in new ways,” the company said.
An example of the technology in use is illustrated in the video below:
