The article states it could be really improved by using the Iris model, but I believe the MediaPipe Iris model is embedded in the FaceMesh model. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

#112The techniques themselves are very cool and inspiring.
That said, the reason such things do/don't take off isn't about how cool they are, generally. It's about how useful they are.
Even for games, immersion and realism are secondary to gameplay. For most applications, it's hard to see how a "realistic window" is useful. A flat paper, paper-like screen is better to read off, for example.
Cool tech. Definitely worth exploring gaming potential. Not easy to apply to other uses. There's no benefit to making an online shop window more like a real shop window. Catalogue is what you want in any case.

Brian may love patterns and minimalism, but I am Ryan and I love chaos and maximalism.
See, me personally, this is what I want in my medical device software. Gimme the data. I'll learn the six different modes for each button, and fly through that shit to find what I want. Sadly, we're training people to live with less control and a shallower understanding by presenting everything in these slim little interfaces. Minimalism elides .

Minimalism is a major factor for cognitive accessibility. If you build for the lowest common denominator then of course qualities like control must necessarily take a dive. If Google gave you more controls for search then it'd be better search, but then it wouldn't be as minimal anymore.
On software you have lots of room to hide complexity for the pro user, but that's not the case for hardware.

Here's why minimalism has such staying power. Fundamentally, pleasing design is about repetition and consistency. Brian loves patterns, that's all there is to it. Good graphic appeal isn't a seasoning like salt which you can just sprinkle on by paying for a few better "designed" assets. Its possible to make really pleasing design out of parts that are individually seen as cheap and low quality. Its also possible to m…
> Fundamentally, pleasing design is about repetition and consistency. Fundamentally, what makes design pleasing is super hard to reason about. If it was mostly about repetition and consistency, any webpage that used bootstrap or no css at all would be pleasing. If pleasing minimalism was very easy to pull off, nobody would take note of Apple products.
Apple is basically Bauhaus for nerd stuff - and that is no small thing. Perhaps if the microcomputer had been first commercialised in Europe they'd all look like that anyway.

#116A couple of 3D display products are coming this year: https://www.leiainc.com/newsroom/reservations-open-for-world... and https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2023/01/asus-new-16-inch-wor.... As my username might suggest, I’m excited! I hope they become less niche with time.

#117Seems interesting especially for the gaming industry, but it seems like it'd be exceptionally difficult to handle the edgecases in the real world; for instance multiple pairs of eyeballs staring at the screen.
This, alongside various privacy concerns of eyeball tracking, will likely nip this technology in the bud.

#119Why not use a tensorflowjs pose estimation model? They mention MediaPipe Iris but didn't find any tensorflowjs model??

#120Cynical take: Seems like an excuse for Shopify to add eye tracking to product pages for ad analytics
Unfortunately it's stuff like this that's poisoned otherwise cool new tech for me. I can't help but wonder "how will this be used to advertise to me?"

Or lie to you? VR storefront eh? Bet the product will look a lot better than it actually does in real life.
