Value proposition

Delivers 'always-on' eye tracking with milliwatt-level power consumption by offloading processing to a dedicated ASIC, eliminating the heavy battery drain and thermal issues typical of software-only solutions.

Products and solutions

AURORA IIE (Ultra-low-power ASIC eye-tracking platform with EPU2 processor), AURORA IIS (NPU-based turnkey eye-tracking solution), AURORA-II (Software IP Licensing), Gaze2AI™ (Reference Design converting 3D gaze into AI commands), Sol Glasses (Wearable eye-tracking glasses for research)

Unique value

Proprietary 'Eye Processing Unit' (EPU) architecture that decouples eye-tracking computation from the main host processor, allowing for a self-contained, ultra-compact system.

Target customer

AR/VR/MR hardware manufacturers (OEMs/ODMs), Smart Glasses developers, and Medical/Research device integrators.

Industries served

Extended Reality (AR/VR/MR), Consumer Electronics (Smart Glasses), Market Research (User Behavior Analysis), MedTech (Assistive Communication)

Technology advantage

Achieves a massive reduction in power consumption (tens of mW vs. hundreds in competitors) and form factor, making it one of the few viable solutions for lightweight, all-day wearable smart glasses.

How they differentiate

Ganzin differentiates through a dedicated ASIC-based approach (Aurora eye-tracking chips) that offloads processing from the main CPU/NPU, achieving milliwatt-level power consumption and 'always-on' capability without heavy battery drain, unlike software-heavy competitors.

Main competitors

Tobii, AdHawk Microsystems, 7invensun

Key partnerships

Qualcomm (Snapdragon Spaces Ecosystem Partner), Himax Technologies (Collaborator on ultra-low-power sensors), Jorjin Technologies (Integration partner for J7EF Gaze smart glasses), Taiwan Tech Arena (Ecosystem support)

Notable customers

Jorjin Technologies (J7EF and J9 AR glasses), DPVR (P2 Vision VR Headset), Himax Technologies (Partnership)

Major milestones

Showcased AURORA IIS eye-tracking solution with Himax at CES 2025 (Jan 2025), Launched Gaze2AI™ Reference Design at AWE USA 2025 (Jun 2025), Launched next-gen AURORA IIE ASIC platform for AI Glasses at CES 2026 (Dec 2025), Selected for SparkLabs Taipei Accelerator Batch 1 (2019)

Growth metrics

Partnered with Himax Technologies for CES 2025; Launched Gaze2AI™ at AWE 2025; Launched AURORA IIE ASIC platform for CES 2026; Integrated into Jorjin J7EF and J9 AR smart glasses; Showcased at CIOE 2025 Shenzhen.

Market positioning

Ultra-low-power hardware specialist for AR/VR/smart glasses (B2B component provider)

Geographic focus

Asia-Pacific (Taiwan/China manufacturing hubs) and North America (Tech partnerships)

Patents and IP

Holds multiple patents in optical systems, eye-tracking algorithms, and head-mounted display interactions (e.g., 'Optical system including eye-tracker and head-mounted display').
