Oren Yogev Keeps Moving the Camera
After turning fixed stadium cameras into impossible viewpoints, Oren Yogev started again with an even smaller signal: the direction of a human gaze. His career is a study in translating difficult computer vision into interactions people can understand.
Blink Technologies, Inc.
Blink Technologies builds software-only eye-tracking and gaze-estimation technology that runs on the ordinary RGB cameras already in phones, laptops, cars, kiosks and CCTV - no special hardware, headset or dedicated sensor required. Using proprietary deep-learning models, Blink turns any camera-equipped device into a gaze-aware interface for touchless control, ad and retail analytics, driver-attention monitoring, authentication and 3D displays. Founded in 2018 with headquarters in Palo Alto and R&D in Haifa, Israel, the company raised a $14M Series A in 2021, bringing total funding to about $24M.
