Sure! Here’s a human-like rewrite of the article you provided:

So, there’s this company, Tobii, and they just made a move that’s kinda cool, I guess? They’re teaming up with another outfit called Prophesee to cook up some next-level eye-tracking tech for AR/VR headsets and those funky smart glasses. And honestly, this Prophesee bunch has some wild gear — their cameras mimic human eyes. Like, instead of capturing everything under the sun, they only snag changes. Movement, light shifts, you know?
It’s like, less stuff leads to being faster and using less juice, which is a win-win. This stuff’s been used in all sorts of contraptions like self-driving cars and… what was it? Oh yeah, industrial machines and smartphones. Now, with Tobii jumping on board, they’re looking at sliding this tech into XR headsets and smart glasses.
So, they’re putting their heads together — Tobii’s top-dog eye-tracking platform meets the snazzy sensors from Prophesee. The idea? A lightning-fast, super-efficient eye-tracking system that sucks up barely any battery. Perfect for those tiny, power-squeezed smart eyewear thingamajigs.
Luca Verre, the brains behind Prophesee, was all for it. He mentions something like, “Event-based vision is the thing now. Perfect for the hungry-for-power gadgets in next-gen wearables.” Makes sense, right? He even hints that they’re plotting to redefine what’s do-able in AR/VR. No pressure, Luca.
And then there’s Emma Bauer from Tobii — she’s apparently the VP of Integrations. She basically said smart glasses are like the hard boss in a video game for eye-tracking tech. Super challenging because you need it to be like a ninja — efficient, quick, and non-distracting. Which is fair, given glasses are getting smarter every day.
Check this: They threw in a picture of what’s supposed to be Ray-Ban Meta Glasses or something. Kinda sleek, if you ask me. But — I digress.
Emma also mused about boosting their toolkit with Prophesee’s sensors, giving folks more choices when dreaming up their new tech monster.
Tobii’s been doing this eye-tracking thing forever. Based in Stockholm (Sweden, of course), they were the early bird with VR headset eye-tracking. Their tech? Wicked handy for stuff like foveated rendering (whatever that is), making social VR less awkward, and automatically setting that IPD magic. Clearly, eye-tracking’s the real MVP for XR tech.
You’ll spot Tobii’s work in loads of headsets these days. Ever heard of PlayStation VR 2, Pixel Crystal, or even Dream MR? Yep, they’re all rocking Tobii tech. And remember HTC Vive Pro Eye from back in 2019? Tobii was there too.
Anyway — yeah, that’s the scoop.
