Tobii Nexus — Webcam eye tracking for your device or application
Tobii Nexus is our first software-only integration platform for delivering attention data. In this post, we share ideas about how you could use Tobii Nexus.
In addition to using traditional CPUs, we are now utilizing new hardware, such as Neural Processing Units (NPU), when available. This shift brings unique opportunities for device manufacturers and developers to integrate eye tracking into their products. Here’s why this advancement matters.
NPUs accelerate AI workloads, offering a significant performance boost when running deep learning models and complex vision algorithms. Integrating our algorithms to run on Intel NPU brings key advantages, including the following:
It’s important to note that while NPUs are increasingly integrated into more laptops and tablets, not all include it yet. If available, the Tobii algorithm automatically executes on Intel NPU and falls back to the CPU when not. This allows developers and OEMs to benefit from hardware acceleration for eye tracking without drastically changing their existing architectures.
As AI-powered devices move toward edge computing — where low-power, small-footprint devices handle real-time processing directly — Edge AI NPUs become increasingly important. These units are designed for ultra-efficient processing on edge devices, making them ideal for products such as laptops, monitors, IoT devices, and mobile applications.
By supporting AI algorithms that can run across CPU, Intel NPU, and Edge AI NPUs, Tobii eye tracking offers OEMs and ISVs several key benefits:
We’re excited to see how our integration with NPUs is reshaping the future of eye tracking technology. By enabling our AI algorithms to run seamlessly across CPU, Intel NPU, and Edge AI NPU, we empower OEMs and ISVs to build smarter, faster, and more energy-efficient products.
Whether you’re looking to enhance accessibility, improve healthcare assessment, or create more intuitive user experiences, our eye tracking algorithms are designed to deliver precise, real-time insights on the hardware platform that best suits your needs. We’re committed to providing the flexibility and performance required to meet the industry's evolving demands.
