How Eyetracking can be Beginning of the End of Privacy
summary
Claims: eye tracking enables foveated rendering that cuts GPU load by ~50%, hardware exists today in Magic Leap dev kits, Vive Pro Eye and prototypes like Half‑Dome, and companies such as Google and Apple acquire eye‑tech firms. Uses: auto IPD, simulated depth‑of‑field, continuous authentication, gaze UX and analytics (example: photogrammetry heatmaps showing fixation on eyes and genitals). Risks: biometric traces reidentify people and breach irrevocably. Practical rules: publish principles, process gaze locally not in cloud, and avoid storing unnecessary gaze data.
