You may have seen a recent press release from Tobii AB, regarding a non-final, first-instance court ruling in Germany. Their announcement suggests a broad and impactful judgment. We feel the need to set the record straight, as the scope of the ruling is narrow and the ruling only concerns the Enrichment Marker Mapper in combination with the Neon or Pupil Invisible glasses within Germany.

From infants discovering faces to therapists building trust and partners synchronizing blinks, researchers are using wearable eye tracking to explore how gaze shapes human connection. Studies in Texas, California, and Germany using Pupil Labs’ Neon reveal both the deliberate and unconscious layers of our visual communication.

A study from the University of Rennes uses eye tracking to reveal how expert practitioners visually navigate one of IVF’s most delicate procedures—ultrasound-guided embryo transfer. As IVF continues to evolve, integrating tools like Neon into simulation-based training could help clinicians refine their technique, reduce variability in outcomes, and enhance patient care.

OpenBCI and Pupil Labs unveiled the result of a months-long collaboration: the first fully wireless, all-in-one brain, body, and eye tracking headset.

Researchers at the Center for Project-Based Learning D-ITET at ETH Zürich used Pupil Labs Neon eye tracking glasses with a four-legged Unitree robot to create an intuitive, gaze-driven navigation system. Designed for people with limited mobility, this technology enables safe, accurate robot movement through obstacle-filled spaces — all with near-instant response times.

Researchers from UWE Bristol have published a study that evaluates gaze based interfaces and interactions for assistive robots. This study offers encouraging insights into how different gaze-based interfaces can support intuitive, effective control of assistive robots — a critical step toward enhancing autonomy for individuals with limited mobility.
