The vision of the company is to become the leading provider of the eye control technology.
The arm development race is going on between Facebook, Google, HTC, and Sony in order to add more controls in the realm of Virtual Reality. The ultimate solution ever found in this fight has been EYES. Google also possess a Company called as Eyefluence. The Eyefluence Company uses a single system of the eye-gestures and does everything that could be done with hands. The Eye controls are known as the future for immersive technology. Other uses of this eye- tracking has other uses and cases too. There are many companies like FOVE that are already having some major breakthroughs that are using eye-tracking technology in order to enhance social interaction in Virtual Reality.
