Why something as intuitive as eye tracking, but something as clunky as touchpad gestures?
Surely if technology is good enough to track the eye, we don't need a touchpad to track hand gestures?
I really like this concept, but when I heard "three finger scroll" I died a little inside.
- ziburski 11y agoSadly, technology isn't good enough for eye tracking to completely replace the mouse. Your eye will always flutter a little and wander around, so you can't rely on eye tracking exclusively. It's also not really practical to perform gestures with your eyes. So you'll still want a touchpad to have quick access to common features through these gestures. I have actually researched this topic quite a lot, and have also been prototyping with a Tobii EyeX tracker.
- masmullin 11y agoI didn't mean to insinuate that technology is at a point where eye tracking excellent, I meant to play along with the video where it was a requirement of the new desktop that eye tracking be excellent. Thus in this theoretical world where eye tracking is excellent, why is hand gesturing not as advanced as eye tracking?
