All the Bits Fit to Print
Experimental website uses eye tracking for hands-free navigation
A developer created a DIY version of Apple Vision Pro’s eye tracking experience using a JavaScript library to control a website with gaze instead of a mouse.
Why it matters: Enables hands-free web interaction by using eye tracking, making interfaces more accessible and immersive.
The big picture: Eye tracking tech is advancing but still faces accuracy challenges requiring large UI elements and careful calibration.
The stakes: Jittery gaze detection and distracting cursors can break immersion, demanding innovative UI and feedback design.
Commenters say: Users praise the creativity and potential, suggest game-like calibration and better gaze feedback, and see exciting future applications.
