Changing the Game: Tobii Eye Tracking in MSI notebook,

STOCKHOLM & LAS VEGAS – Jan. 4, 2016 – Tobii (http://www.tobii.com/), the global leader in eye tracking, will showcase innovations that will shape how consumers redefine their computing experience during the 2016 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES). Through a partnership with Ubisoft®, entirely new gaming experiences will be added to Assassin’s Creed® Syndicate, letting gamers aim, shoot and zipline with their eyes. MSI will also start shipments of the world’s first consumer notebook with integrated eye tracking in early 2016. Attendees can go hands-on with Tobii’s award winning experiences, including Assassin’s Creed® Syndicate and the MSI GT72 Dominator Pro Tobii, by visiting its booth at Tech West #71939 (http://ces16.mapyourshow.com/7_0/exhibitor/exhibitor -details.cfm?ExhID=T0009406) in the Sands Expo Center, Jan. 6-9. “In 2015, we made eye tracking available to consumers for the first time. No matter their first interaction, the response was the same: this feels like the future,” said Oscar Werner, president of Tobii Tech. “A year later, our technology can be found in a world-class gaming notebook, two more AAA game titles and is part of an industry-wide shift in biometric security through validation from Microsoft to support Windows Hello – all solid testimonies to the power of eye tracking.” CES 2016 attendees will be among the first to experience the following: · MSI GT72 Dominator Pro Tobii – Already a ‘Best of Computex’ award winner, this notebook will officially start shipping to consumers in January 2016 and will be bundled with Tom Clancy’s The Division, Ubisoft’s online open-world RPG shooter and one of 2016’s most anticipated titles, releasing on March 8. As the world’s first consumer notebook with integrated eye-tracking, this extension of MSI’s flagship GT72 line provides gamers with the most realistic and immersive experiences possible.
