Overview
About this device
Initially featuring an integrated eye tracking mechanism and intended for businesses, the Lynx R-1 was later redesigned to be sold to consumers. This resulted in the removal of its eye tracking functionality, as well as the launch of a Kickstarter campaign to crowdfund the device.
Backers of the Kickstarter campaign will have the opportunity to obtain a version of the device featuring a transparent front faceplate, revealing the internals of the device.
