Tobii has managed to impress quite a few folks with its eye-tracking technology – most recently in the form of the “Eye Asteroids” arcade game – and it looks like Intel has been paying particularly close attention to the company. As Computer Sweden reports, Intel (or Intel Capital, specifically) has now shelled out roughly $21 million to buy a ten percent stake in the Swedish company, which hopes to soon see its eye-tracking system used in everything from desktops and laptops to phones and even vehicles. Presumably, having Intel at the table will give it a considerable boost in those endeavors.Intel drops $21 million for ten percent stake in eye-tracking firm Tobii originally appeared on Engadget on Fri, 16 Mar 2012 17:59:00 EDT.
