Tobii, Fujitsu and NTT DoCoMo partner on eye tracking ibeam tablet, promise a peek in October

Tobii's eye tracking [Gaze UI](http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/12/tobii-gaze-ui-eyes-on-video/) hasn't been especially portable so far, but we'll soon see that change through a new collaboration involving [Fujitsu](http://www.engadget.com/tag/Fujitsu/) and [NTT DoCoMo](http://www.engadget.com/tag/NTTDoCoMo/). The trio plan to reveal the ibeam, an Android tablet with Tobii's smaller IS20 (formerly [the IS-2](http://www.engadget.com/2012/03/05/tobiis-is-2-eye-tracker-is-cheaper-75-percent-smaller-than-its/)) detector taking input just through glances. Together, the partners want to show that an [eye-driven](http://www.engadget.com/tag/eyetracking/) interface can be more reactive than plain old [multi-touch](http://www.engadget.com/tag/multitouch/): think turning a page in an e-book while you're holding on to a subway car strap. We're only getting a brief preview as of today, but we're teased with the prospect of a full look at NTT DoCoMo's [CEATEC](http://www.engadget.com/tag/CEATEC/) booth in early October. Whether or not ibeam leads to more than a well-that's-nice prototype, though, is still up in the air.
