>eye tracking as a cursor

Assuming it's accurate, would it work?

If it's accurate, of course it would work. Why wouldn't it?

thanks botnet!

no

>implying there won't be a super simple and quick way to toggle the tracking on/off

There are technologies that can already track your screen while playing video (like those dynamic contrast/sharpness botnets)

>implying people want an extra step to watch a movie
most normie are lazy shits who wouldn't dream of doing more than bare minimum to operate their machines or refuse to learn new features. Cortana, for instance, gets disabled by most people, or never used at all.

now here's a proposal, it only works when you're using special glasses or maybe a headband or something

You know, assuming we're talking about MAGICAL FUTURE eye-tracking that doesn't miss. there'd be no reason at all to have a graphical representation of the cursor on the screen.

There could also be blink commands. Maybe a modal thing like vi: click mode, every blink is a click, close your eyes for half a second/blink twice or thrice quickly to switch modes into something else

and so on

you can't blink click because people HAVE to blink, and might blink when they don't want to.

>implying people want an extra step to watch a movie

What if it's 'blink twice with both eyes'

It's pretty easy to distinguish intentional blinks

As botnet, yes.

>get a small dust particle in eye
>accidently delete system32

This would be pure aimbot for FPS games.

you just don't get it, brainlet
just sneeze and the tracking stops

git gud

Holy shit that's actually really cool. The typing part was the really cool.

Isn't eye movement too jittery for that sort of thing?

I'm pretty sure the pupil does not move when you look at a single thing, and if there is a high precision enough mechanism to track pupils, we'd actually learn quickly how to use it in the best way, same same way people are horrible with a mouse at first, but quickly learn.

This is not theoretical, it's already been done.

Hope it in some form makes its way to all OS soon. Really great accessibility feature.

You can control for that, much like most smartphone cameras control for natural hand shaking, although the technology used would be different, just an example of tech working around human nature.

>implying it could ever actually get turned off

retarded shit to make you a slave.

nobody looks at what they're doing all the time. you will be a retarded autistic puppet. enjoy your dumb shit.

it would be amazing, keyboard and eyes only

people wouldnt use it due to the "youre now blinking manually" effect that would torture their souls

doesnt Stephen hawking use something like this?

do you ever click at something without looking at it, smart guy?
