How Can Eye-tracking Help Mobalytics’ Automated Gaming Coach?
In a report by Tech Crunch, Amine Issa said that eye-tracking could improve pro teams’ skills. Knowing where your opponent is looking can give you an idea of what he’s planning, he added. Issa is a co-founder of Mobalytics and “Warchief of Science.”
Mobalytics and Tobii also talked with pro gamers and coaches. With their help, the two companies can analyze specific areas. They can study how well you know your map. Likewise, they know if you have tunnel vision. Other than that, they can see how quickly you process new information.
What Can We Expect from Mobalytics and Tobii?
Tobii has released the Eye Tracker 5 to boost gamers’ experience. Tech Crunch reports that Tobii has also paired the device with AAA games like “Rise of the Tomb Raider.” Players can use the Eye Tracker 5 to aim, instead of the analog sticks.
Mobalytics has raised $11 million as it tries to expand its gaming tools. They want to give gamers an assistant that boosts their skills by studying their play style.
