Tobii Aware - Technology That Anticipates Your Needs

While Tobii is best known for the advanced capabilities enabled by Tobii eye tracking technology and hardware, the company’s Tobii Aware software enables a broader range of personal computers to gain many of the benefits associated with visually sensing users. By combining the hardware capabilities of a Windows Hello camera with Tobii Aware software, a variety of important new system benefits are unlocked, including:  

Enhanced Privacy & Security

•  Enhanced device security and privacy through user identification and automatic presence detection to blur and lock screens.

Digital Wellbeing & Convenience

•  Improved comfort, convenience, and digital health via insights about screen time and computer usage.
•  More intuitive and intelligent devices that can stay awake depending on user presence, warp mouse cursors and windows across multiple screens effortlessly, and un-dim or turn on the screen when users returns.

Power Performance

•  Save power and CPU performance in a natural and unobtrusive way with screens that dim and react to user presence.
