The patent starts of by saying that most existing eye-tracking systems in AR glasses work by using cameras to track eye movement. But to get accurate eye-tracking in real time, this means the camera will have to transmit images of the eye at a high frequency to the smartwear’s processor.

The first thing that catches your eye about the Mothership is the sheer size of it. It’s unlike anything we’ve ever seen come out of ASUS. If I were to describe it, the machine looks like a plus size version of Microsoft’s Surface Pro notebook, and it was injected with steroids.

The announcement was made on Twitter which, considering this is Kamiya we are talking about, needs to go through a translator. But rather than just a simple announcement, the tweet addresses the unpopular ending for Bayonetta 3, and that the fourth game “will be an unexpected development for everyone”. — 神谷英樹 Hideki Kamiya (@PG_kamiya) November 18, 2022 While there could be debates to be had regarding if Bayonetta 4 was expected or otherwise, common consensus paints a picture that the third game did end in a weird note, possibly leaving more loose ends than it ties up....
