Fove Announces Latest Virtual Reality Head Mount 'Eye Play the Piano,' Premieres at University of Tsukuba
A new organization is trying to rally funds for a most astounding new project. This one comes via the charity fundraising site JustGiving. The company, Fove, a Japanese virtual reality headset manufacturer, has divulged what the contraption is: Eye Play the Piano.The new device comes as a collaborative effort between the University of Tsukuba's Special Needs Education School for the Physically Challenged and Fove.According to "The Guardian," the headset operates with the aid of Fove's eye-tracking technology. The VR head mount reacts to the user's eye movements and, apparently, as the player blinks on one of the many eye panels within the interface — shown in the video below — it triggers the desired notes.The device made its debut in December 2014 when it was played by a student at the University of Tsukuba for a Christmas concert at its Special Needs School.
