Apple has likely acquired SensoMotoric, a German computer vision company best known for its eye-tracking glasses and systems
Apple CEO Tim Cook’s bullish stance on AR makes it the most likely target for SensoMotoric’s tech, at least initially. Cook has stated on numerous occasions that he sees AR as an idea “as big as the iPhone.” The company also recently unveiled ARKit, an AR developer platform for iOS that utilizes the iPhone camera to project 3D-rendered images and videos onto a user’s environment. It’s not hard to imagine how this technology, alongside eye-tracking tech, could be integrated into an AR-enabled wearable.
