I always wanted to be able to set focus on windows by looking at them. Perhaps that can be achieved with a Kinect.

  You should be able to do that with a normal webcam, since you don't need depth information. I've thought of that too; I think there will be a similar interface when heads-up displays in glasses become viable.

    I haven't been paying attention, but has eyetracking software gotten that good? Can you point to people or companies who are working on this, or currently available solutions? I've been doing some usability testing stuff and it'd be nice to have eyetracking (especially paired with click/mouseover data.) and not much less helpful head/face tracking that is built into the webcam.

      GazeHawk (YC funded) is, but the software isn't open. http://www.gazehawk.com/ http://www.gazehawk.com/

    If I am wearing glasses it becomes much easier (3 IR LEDs, one webcam) to track where my head is turned.
