Eye tracking has great potential and this is the second company I have heard of involved in it

The first was Fove http://www.getfove.com/
Eventually I see this feature as being standard with desktop VR units

One of the big benefits of Vive over Oculus is the ability to move around in a decent sized room
Oculus still doesn't have this ability ... till now
A new developer has made a game where players can define beforehand the safe area where they can move around
This safe area is always visible in the virtual world and you can move the safe area to any location in the VR world
Just an area of a few steps allows players to physically move as the needs of the VR world requires ei. stepping to avoid a rock or hole
