It feels like Apple has solved this problem with the Vision Pro? So just wait for a couple more months?

The context here is ALS; someone with only the ability to move their eyes may not have a couple of months free to wait.

Is the lack of mentioning Apple deliberate? It seems like they've already poured a lot of R&D into this for the Vision Pro, which might be exactly the kind of thing the friend needs.

It's not available yet. And in any case if this is the future there should be multiple companies doing it, not just Apple.

Except Apple has stated they will encrypt that information and not supply it to apps to avoid targeting or fingerprinting. And second how would that help someone with ALS?

I think that makes sense but a startup is going to have a hard time delivering something better between now and January if they start from scratch.

But maybe I’m wrong, it might be a purely software based problem that can be solved quicker.
