OMNIVISION and Tobii announced their partnership to advance solutions for vision in the Metaverse. The jointly-developed eye-tracking reference design is based on OMNIVISION's BSI global shutter (GS) sensor family and helps extended reality original equipment manufacturer (XR OEMs) speed time to market for high demand XR consumer electronics products. This is the only eye tracking reference design based on the BSI global shutter (GS) sensor family.

The new solution features OMNIVISION's OC0TA, the smallest camera module for eye tracking along with new high performance advantages in near-infrared (NIR) and shutter efficiency. The integrated camera module with eye tracking significantly reduces development time for AR, VR and MR consumer products. The technology will be demonstrated at OMNIVISION's CES virtual meeting site January 5-8, 2022.
