I suspect a foveated system is going to be a big thing in machine vision as well.

#12It 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.
Also donning the AVP headset might not be possible for someone with advanced ALS. A fixed outside-in apparatus (probably attached to the patient’s wheelchair) would make more sense.

#13Aw, that's nice of pg to want something better for his friend. As cynical as we are about technology, new developments can be so fantastic for accessibility and better quality of life.

#14Earlier quoted context omitted.

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.

I agree entirely!

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?
People use stuff like this in VRChat

You can use it with any headset cause the data it provides is independent of the headset. Not sure how accurate that one is in particular.
Eye tracking data is not particularly complex nor super sensitive in nature. Once the sensor is calibrated it just sends over two vectors.

And if that were where the story ended we'd have an honest feel-good going. New developments -could- be fantastic for accessibility and QoL, but without exception they just end up getting sucked into a marketing surveillance suite.

#17Someone should do this, but for the love of god, DO NOT take any venture capital to do it. No matter how well-intentioned the VCs are at the start, eventually your eye tracking startup will 100% be used for advertising as investors in your Series D need to make an exit or take you public.

#18Not really a huge PG fan, but this is what billionaires should be doing: see where a need is exists and put some of your insane wealth towards making an improvement. This why I respect Elon even though I don’t really like him; he puts his money to use, in a very public manner.

eyetracking is already used by the advertisers in research for many many years, e.g: https://www.tobii.com/
