We are Eyeware Tech, a Swiss company powering the future of human-machine interaction. We put the tech into a free beta app that turns a Face ID-supported iPhone or iPad, with a built-in TrueDepth camera, into a precise, multi-purpose, six degrees of freedom (6DoF) head and eye tracking device.

The head and eye-tracking app provide early API access for developers to create their own head and eye tracking enabled PC applications with no wearables needed. For anyone curious to take a look at it, the SDK can be downloaded for free here, and you can read all of the documentation.

We made an SDK for much easier and faster integration with our head and eye tracking API so that developers can create richer gaming experiences. Here are details about what the Eyeware Beam app currently offers so developers can look at our technology and the quality.

Eye Tracker Overlay: Show where your eyes are looking on the screen in streams.
  • The free beta app provides an eye gaze bubble overlay to show others where the user is looking while recording or sharing the computer screen. Live streamers and gamers on Twitch and other social platforms use the free beta app to accurately show viewers where they look on the screen in real-time.

  • You control the in-game camera with your real-life head movements that add depth to 190+ Simulation Games. Translate your head motions into on-screen actions with seamless reliability that increases your field of view.

The SDK provides the capabilities to develop their head and eye-tracking-enabled PC solutions with access to tracking data in real-time. Application integrators and developers previously depended on dedicated hardware to enable these functionalities for end-users.


We think this shows the potential for mainstream adoption of eye tracking technology with the app when indie developers put the tech to use. It would be cool to see the eye tracking manipulate the gameplay as head tracking does. Until then, it's great to live stream with the eye tracker overlay in games to show viewers where they look on the screen accurately.

Thanks for looking at what we have been working on for years!
