I’m always on the lookout for simple apps that do one thing well, and was pleasantly surprised when I came across Slimvoice, a new free invoicing tool.

If you thought Oculus’s VR headsets, HTC’s Vive and Samsung’s VR headset would provide enough enough virtual reality excitement in 2015, then Fove’s ambition to add eye-tracking control into the mix could push you over the edge. I actually like the idea, and had a very short play around with a prototype unit, but remain slightly unconvinced of the long-term viability.
