I beg to differ. Canon marketed several film and video cameras with eye-tracking for focus. I remember it being a very intuitive interface. Considering this through a modern perspective of inclusivity, there are probably issues around accessibility for people with eye-mobility issues (amblyopia, stroke-related impairments, etc).

They appeared during the late days of film EOS models but went away and never returned. I've never heard a good explanation. I even asked a friend of mine who sometimes covers camera tech for one of the big online pubs and Canon would never give an explicit reason.

    Yeah. Someone else mentioned that you can apparently use eye tracking to set an initial focus point in the R3. And it apparently works well for some and not at all for others.
