Eye tracking built for smart glasses

Tobii's smart glasses platform enables eye tracking in slim, all-day wearable smart glasses with minimal components and complexity. Machine-learning gaze estimation optimized for low power provides consumer-friendly performance in real world conditions. 

Eye tracking built for smart glasses

Engineered for smart eyewear

The requirements of smart glasses are fundamentally different from those of VR headsets and laboratory systems. Industrial design, thermal limits, battery life, component cost, and real-world reliability all influence whether a product succeeds at consumer scale. 

Tobii’s solution is designed around these constraints from the outset, enabling eye tracking that fits naturally into lightweight eyewear platforms intended for everyday use. 

Engineered for smart eyewear

Built for the constraints that define smart glasses success

Tobii’s technology addresses the core requirements OEMs face when integrating eye tracking into smart eyewear. 

  • Fashionable eyewear design

    Minimal hardware architecture enables slim, lightweight smart glasses.

  • All-day wearable efficiency

    Optimized for low-power operation and thermal efficiency within power budgets.

  • Real‑world readiness 

    Stable tracking across users, environments, lighting, and motion.

  • Ready for scalable deployment

    Optimized for ML-accelerated processors and high-volume production.

Minimal eye tracking hardware

Tobii's smart glasses platform enables gaze tracking using one camera and one LED per eye, reducing hardware footprint while supporting flexible placement across diverse frame geometries. 

At the core of the system is a machine learning-based gaze model delivered in ONNX format and optimized for low-power ML-accelerated wearable processors commonly used in consumer smart glasses. 

This architecture helps OEMs integrate eye tracking into lightweight, battery-constrained devices without relying on larger optical assemblies or premium XR chipsets.

Enabling differentiated experiences

By making eye tracking viable in everyday eyewear, Tobii's smart glasses platform enables gaze to become a core interaction method for smart glasses experiences. 

OEMs can leverage gaze to support contextual AI, attention-aware interfaces, gaze-based interaction, enhanced audio, object selection, and other features that create more intuitive interaction models and differentiated product experiences. 

The platform also supports performance-oriented use cases, such as display rendering optimization and eye tracking-driven compression optimization, for smart eyewear architectures.
