Coming from Shopify, this feels like a ZIRP (zero interest rate project). i.e. projects that need not bear any fruit in the next many years. Snark aside, this looks very cool, and I definitely see use cases in gaming (and maybe in web home pages--assuming you could get the client to turn on the web cam for an unknown site). In the article I see no mention of accelerometers. Can one get nearly the same effect on mobile merely using these and not using the camera?

Sure - there are 3d-effect backgrounds available currently. Apple offers this as an OS feature since iOS 7: Parallax / Perspective Zoom for wallpaper. https://www.wired.com/2013/09/parallax-and-the-ios-7-wallpaper/ https://www.wired.com/2013/09/parallax-and-the-ios-7-wallpap... Adding in Selfie-cam eye tracking should be relatively doable too. Could then be added to an app, a game, or to the UI layer of a phone.
