Innovative Breakthroughs in Domestic XR Technology: The ‘Eye-Swipe’ Era Begins

On June 11, 2024, at the stroke of midnight Beijing time, the annual Apple Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC24) commenced at Apple Park. Besides announcing the release of the Vision Pro’s domestic version on June 28, the newly upgraded vision OS 2 was also officially launched. In the visionOS 2 update, Apple added data functionality to Guest Mode, capable of retaining visitors’ eye-tracking and gesture recognition calibration data for up to 30 days. Specifically, with Optic ID, which is based on iris recognition and eye-tracking technology, visitor calibration information can be automatically identified and switched, eliminating the previously lengthy, cumbersome, and repetitive visitor calibration process. This allows Vision Pro to be better shared among family members and colleagues.
Apart from Apple, domestic companies have also laid out strategies for key technologies involving iris recognition and eye tracking. Qixin Yiwei, in collaboration with WeChat Pay and Skyworth XR, has launched an ‘XR Iris Recognition & Eye Tracking’ comprehensive solution. This solution has completed the overall optimization of hardware, software, and algorithms and is expected to be unveiled to the public soon.

As the name suggests, the ‘XR Iris Recognition & Eye Tracking’ comprehensive solution employs customized iris and eye movement image sensors. Iris recognition and eye tracking, as the best ‘partners’, share a single hardware system, which can minimize weight, volume, power consumption, and costs. They also complement each other in terms of user privacy and data security protection, as well as convenient user management.

With the加持 of iris recognition and eye tracking features, the eyes become the pass for the era of spatial computing: a glance can log in to accounts, complete payments, and achieve interactions, greatly simplifying user identity recognition, verification, and payment processes. This brings a more natural and human-habit-conforming interaction experience. In the future, there is potential for innovative applications in scenarios such as encryption, underage protection, and ‘personalized experiences’.

In addition, the ‘XR Eye Tracking & Iris Recognition’ comprehensive solution also fully supports a range of features including foveated rendering (with dynamic super-resolution and anti-aberration), eye-controlled interaction, expression tracking, pupil distance adjustment, and eye movement data analysis. This XR key technology solution, which combines Qixin Yiwei’s core eye-tracking patent algorithms with WeChat Pay’s iris recognition algorithms, is now open to industry access.

As one of the pioneers in the world to apply eye-tracking technology to the XR field, Qixin Yiwei continuously invests in long-term R&D and core intellectual property reserves for XR eye movement. It has achieved independent control in several key core technology areas, successively creating the world’s first eye-controlled smart glasses, the world’s first mass-produced VR eye-tracking module, and the world’s first integrated iris recognition technology eye-tracking solution, among other industry-first achievements.
