Ganzin Unveils Revolutionary AURORA IIE Eye-Tracking Platform for Wearables
Ganzin Unveils the AURORA IIE: A New Era in Eye-Tracking Technology
Ganzin Technology, a leader in innovative eye-tracking solutions, recently announced the launch of its latest product, the AURORA IIE, at CES 2026. This new device signifies a significant breakthrough in wearable technology by integrating eye-tracking capabilities with ultra-low power consumption, demonstrating Ganzin's commitment to enhancing user experience in augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) platforms.
What is AURORA IIE?
The AURORA IIE is an advanced ASIC-based eye-tracking platform designed to support always-on functionality in next-generation AR and AI glasses as well as VR and mixed reality (MR) headsets. It is equipped with Ganzin's proprietary Eye Processing Unit 2 (EPU2), which performs eye-tracking operations with remarkable efficiency. The key innovation here is the reduction of power consumption to just one-quarter of what was required by previous NPU-based solutions. This immense efficiency allows the eye-tracking feature to be active continuously without draining battery life.
Eye-Tracking Redefined
With the AURORA IIE, Ganzin seeks to transform the way users interact with wearable devices. Always-on eye-tracking offers a seamless gaze interaction feature that can interpret a user's focus in real time. This capability opens new possibilities for capturing physiological indicators based on eye movement, providing invaluable data for various applications, including those in medical and academic research.
The platform supports a throughput of up to 120 Hz, meeting the stringent demands of the latest VR and MR technologies. By adopting a structure consisting of one ASIC processor, two eye sensors, and two infrared LEDs, the AURORA IIE retains an ultra-compact design, staying true to the philosophy established with Ganzin's prior model, AURORA IIS.
A Comprehensive Eye-Tracking Solution
The introduction of the AURORA IIE not only enhances Ganzin's product lineup but also showcases a broader range of eye-tracking solutions designed for varying stages of development and integration. The AURORA family includes:
1. AURORA-II: A flexible software IP licensing solution that allows partners extensive customization and design freedom.
2. AURORA-IIS: A turnkey solution based on NPU that expedites system integration and facilitates quick market entry while optimizing performance and power efficiency.
3. AURORA-IIE: The state-of-the-art ASIC-based platform that delivers always-on eye tracking capabilities perfectly tailored for mass production.
Each option caters to different needs, empowering clients to select the most suitable solution as they progress from initial prototypes to full-scale commercial deployment.
