About
Eyeware is a software-only eye and head tracking platform built on patent-pending AI technology that works with ordinary webcams and 3D sensors — eliminating the need for expensive dedicated hardware. The company offers four core products: Beam Eye Tracker, which lets gamers immerse themselves in 200+ PC titles using gaze and head movement controls, and also adds a real-time eye-tracking overlay for live streams and recordings; GazeSense SDK, a cross-platform developer toolkit for building custom 2D and 3D gaze-aware applications on Windows and Linux; White Label Solutions, which allow OEMs and brands to fast-track proprietary eye tracking apps (exemplified by the AMD Privacy View integration in Radeon Software); and the Eyeware Beam iOS App and API, turning iPhones into affordable 6DoF head and eye trackers for PCs. Use cases span gaming and streaming immersion, PC productivity, mobile privacy and security, automotive driver-attention monitoring, and academic human-machine interaction research. Eyeware's technology is trusted by industry leaders in consumer electronics and automotive, making it a versatile foundation for both consumer-facing and enterprise-grade gaze intelligence applications.

- Developers building custom gaze-aware applications using the GazeSense SDK for healthcare, AAC devices, simulation, or biometrics.
- PC and mobile OEMs integrating white-label eye tracking features — such as privacy screen dimming or gaze-based unlock — into new hardware product lines.
- Automotive and academic researchers studying driver attention, distraction patterns, and human-machine interaction using real-time head and gaze data.
Pros
- Works with standard webcams: Users don't need expensive dedicated eye tracking hardware — any decent USB or built-in webcam is sufficient, drastically lowering the barrier to entry.

- Trusted by industry leaders: Partnerships with AMD and adoption in automotive and consumer-electronics sectors validate the technology's reliability and enterprise readiness.
Cons
- SDK access is gated: GazeSense SDK and the Beam API require submitting a trial request rather than instant self-serve sign-up, slowing down developer onboarding.
- Full feature set requires a subscription: While a free trial of Beam Eye Tracker is available, ongoing access to premium gaming and streaming features is tied to a paid plan.
- Limited to supported platforms: Native support currently covers Windows and Linux for the SDK; Android and other mobile ecosystems are not yet officially supported.
