Belgian startup VoxelSensors has acquired the intellectual and industrial property of Israeli company EyeWay Vision, along with their expertise in gaze-tracking and projection technology for XR. By integrating EyeWay's innovations with their own Single Photon Active Event Sensor (SPAES), VoxelSensors aims to strengthen its position in spatial and empathic computing for mobile and XR devices.
"Integrating our technologies brings the promise of wearable XR closer and enables powerful use cases," said Boris Greenberg, VoxelSensors' VP of XR Solutions. EyeWay's gaze-contingent projection architecture includes a dynamic exit pupil shifter, varifocal foveated projection, laser gaze tracker, and efficient graphics pipeline.
This addresses critical XR requirements like power efficiency, daylight visibility, vergence-accommodation conflict solution, continuous varifocal interaction, low latency, high perceived resolution, and situational awareness. "This acquisition marks a key milestone, positioning us as a major spatial and empathic computing player for mobile and XR," stated VoxelSensors CEO Johannes Peeters.
