Overview

EyeSight has developed an in-car AI vision system that tracks gaze direction, pupil dilation, eye openness and head position and uses proprietary algorithms to determine driver attentiveness. The system can alert drivers with sounds and vibrations or potentially temporarily activate self-driving mode. It also scans the cabin to identify who and what is in the vehicle, including detecting children to help prevent babies being forgotten in locked cars. Regulatory trends are a tailwind: Euro NCAP will require Driver Monitoring Systems by 2020 and child-detection features by 2022. The Israeli company is partnering with two major car manufacturers and says its technology will be in at least four car models by 2020. EyeSight recently secured funding to accelerate deployment of its in-car AI vision technology. eyeSight Technologies develops embedded computer vision and gesture-recognition software that enables touch-free interactions across devices including mobile phones, tablets, PCs, TVs and VR headsets. The company offers an IoT and smart-home product called singlecue and positions its platform for integration in automotive, robotics and other connected-device markets. eyeSight cites partnerships and technology integrations with AMD, ARM and Omnivision and says its technology has been chosen by ZTE, Lenovo, Toshiba, Hisense, Phillips and OPPO. The company emphasizes bringing user-aware, touch-free interactions for safer driving, home control and interactive robotics. Recent activity centers on scaling distribution and development through a strategic partnership with Chinese conglomerate Kuang‑Chi. Financially, eyeSight announced a $20 million investment to support growth and broader market deployment. eyeSight Mobile Technologies develops touch-free interface software that lets users control mobile and portable devices with simple gestures via the built-in camera. Its technology uses advanced real-time image processing and machine-vision algorithms to support gesture recognition and finger tracking. The software can be integrated into devices, chipsets, operating systems and applications to extend traditional interfaces and improve user experience. The company plans to offer its portfolio, including gesture and finger-tracking technologies, as part of the CEVA-MM3000 image signal processing and video platform. Financially, eyeSight completed a $4.2M Series B funding round. The company is led by CEO Gideon Shmuel with founder and CTO Itay Katz involved in technology development.
