8bitfuture: Gaze tracking device nearing release. The Tobii REX is a small USB powered device able to accurately track a users gaze with enough precision to use it instead of a mouse pointer. While a developer version is available now for US$995, the Tobii says they will make 5,000 of the REX’s available before the end of 2013, presumably for a much cheaper price. dvice checked it out at CES, here’s what they had to say: It’s easy to be skeptical about such a claim, but we tried it for ourselves, and it works flawlessly. It’s one of those rare technologies that totally feels like The Future.
