well there are a lot of smartwatches but where are they gonna go next I'm Scott Stein in Barcelona at Mobile World Congress there are some technologies that haven't emerged yet that could still change smartwatches the I tribe is actually working on a prototype for eye tracking technology the eye tribe is a $99 box currently that tracks your eye motion and it works with a reading apps for instance like spritz is a great example that looks at speed reading you look away then it stops you can look back and it will do one word at a time speed reading you can also look up and down to speed up or slow that down and the idea here is this is using a Sony SmartWatch hardware and a very early early a developer prototype to see what it would look like maybe on a watch so you could look at your watch to read and then when you look away it turns up what could that be used for well imagine energy saving capabilities you could pair this with something like an accelerometer the accelerometer turns on the eye tracking software and/or hardware and then you could actually look at it to turn on the screen maybe down the road that would help SmartWatch just stay a little bit smarter from Barcelona Mobile World Congress I'm Scott's Diane
