At the Advanced Wearable Expo (AWE) 2026, Ganzin Technology, a frontrunner in ultra-low-power eye-tracking technology, showcased critical advancements in its Aurora ecosystem. This initiative aims to foster the adoption of eye-tracking capabilities in next-generation AI glasses by creating a robust supply chain in collaboration with major industry players.
As AI glasses are heralded as a revolutionary computing platform, eye tracking emerges as an essential technology that facilitates natural interactions, contextual understanding, and personalized experiences with AI. Recognizing this, Ganzin has partnered with leading component suppliers, processor manufacturers, and device creators to establish a production-ready ecosystem that integrates optics, computing platforms, and wearable devices.
The Aurora Ecosystem and its Components
The Aurora ecosystem represents a collaborative effort from top-tier industry partners, designed to deliver flexible pathways that span everything from rapid prototyping to large-scale commercial deployment. Key components of this ecosystem include:
- - Optics and Illumination: Utilizing OmniVision image sensors and ams OSRAM infrared illumination.
- - Processing Platforms: Incorporating Qualcomm Snapdragon platforms, Himax low-power processors, and Ganzin's proprietary EPU2 ASIC.
- - Device Platforms: Collaboration with Jorjin Technologies and Quanta Computer to accommodate diverse device architectures.
J9 AI Glasses: A Game-Changer in Development
During AWE 2026, Ganzin and Jorjin Technologies also introduced the J9 AI Glasses reference design. This framework aids OEM and ODM partners in integrating eye tracking into commercial offerings, significantly mitigating development risks and accelerating time-to-market. The architecture integrates cutting-edge eye-tracking sensors from OmniVision, infrared illumination from ams OSRAM, and Ganzin’s Aurora IIS eye-tracking solution to form a validated, production-ready platform.
The Introduction of Gaze2AI 2.0
In addition, Ganzin launched Gaze2AI 2.0, the next iteration of its gaze-aware AI interaction framework. While voice remains a vital interface for AI systems, the context provided by human attention is equally crucial. Gaze2AI 2.0 combines voice inputs with real-time gaze data to enhance the AI’s understanding of user intent. This innovative approach seeks to redefine interactions by accounting for user attention, leading to a more intuitive experience in upcoming attention-aware AI glasses.
Aurora IIE: The Next-Gen Eye-Tracking Platform
Ganzin didn't stop at software advancements. The Aurora IIE, making its debut at AWE 2026, features a next-generation eye-tracking platform powered by Ganzin’s proprietary Eye Processing Unit 2 (EPU2) ASIC. This platform is specifically engineered for wearable technology, cutting power requirements to approximately one-fourth of traditional solutions while supporting an impressive 120 Hz of eye-tracking performance. Its ultra-low-power architecture facilitates ‘always-on’ operation, paving the way for advancements in gaze-based interactions, wellbeing monitoring, and applications in VR, MR, and medical fields. The device maintains Ganzin’s minimalist design ethos with a compact configuration comprised of a single processing chip, dual eye sensors, and two infrared illuminators, making it ideal for AI glasses.
Enhanced Safety and Efficiency with ams OSRAM
A significant milestone in the Aurora ecosystem is the formal incorporation of ams OSRAM’s advanced infrared illumination solution into the Aurora IIS reference platform. This optimization not only enhances eye-safety margins and lowers power consumption but also improves the consistency of illumination, thereby boosting system reliability. This integration firmly establishes Aurora IIS as a viable eye-tracking platform ready for commercial AI and AR glasses.
