So at this week's electronics fair, I found a weird VR headset prototype. No names on it, and it says "prototype/not for resale". I took it apart to figure out who made it, and completely failed. It's weeeird:

@foone given the camera pointing back at the eyes and NIR LEDs I’d wager it has eye tracking built in. We have some dedicated eye trackers in the lab that use that tech. I’d also guess the magnet in there is used with an external tracker to gauge head orientation. Some early mocap systems used that technology.
