The Daily Mail reported that this particular type of laptop was manufactured by Lenovo and integrated cameras using eye tracking technology from Swedish technology company Tobii Technology Inc. on the outside of the machine. This makes this model twice as thick as a regular laptop.

Eye tracking technology helps to monitor the user's gaze and spot the focus they are looking at on the computer screen. Among many uses, it can help laptop users play games and defeat enemies in the virtual world because the laser in the game will hit the point they look at.

According to Tobii, in the future, a laptop like this can make the mouse pointer appear at the point of the user watching, or make a game character that maintains eye contact.

Barbara Barclay, director of project development Tobii company's analytical solutions, said the eye tracking device works by projecting two invisible infrared rays at users. The two hidden cameras then search for "light rays" from two eyeballs as well as reflections from each retina.

This device needs to be calibrated for each specific user and works well for both glasses and glasses. Barclay added that, instead of replacing traditional mice and keyboards or touch screens, eye tracking technology could complement, making a computer run faster and more efficiently when used. use.

Tobii has produced eye tracking devices for researchers and disabled people for nearly a decade. And integrating this technology into laptop manufacturing is a way for the company to prove it can expand its applications.

Lenovo and Tobii have produced 20 eye-catching technology-based laptops and are planning to show them at CeBIT - the world's largest high-tech exhibition in Hanover, Germany.

Tobii's current eye tracking devices alone cost up to tens of thousands of dollars. However, Ms. Barclay said the cost of installing this technology at the consumer level for a commercial laptop could be cheaper.
