- Company Description
- FOVE is a cutting-edge VR headset, the first in the world to have integrated eye-tracking, in addition to head- and position-tracking. The user's gaze allows FOVE to offer pleasant and long VR experiences with minimal simulation sickness, a more natural image by blurring unfocused peripheral areas, lifelike communication through eye-contact with other VR players, entirely new, subconscious UI operations using eyesight, and foveated rendering, a technique that reduces the GPU burden in areas where the user is not looking.
