I think the underlying flaw here is that pointing your eyes at a virtual keyboard in space to type passwords is just a poor input method. Take away the VR headset and do the same thing and the flaw still exists.
Now I want to make a keyboard where you shine a laser pointer at the key you want to press, and your cat jumping up is what actually triggers the button press.

- iwontberude 2y agoThat’s my thought too but maybe we subconsciously move our eyes when we type and still is a side channel.

- jrockway 2y agoDefinitely not. It seems that the keyboard on Apple Vision Pro is an onscreen keyboard you type with using your eyes. The Vision Pro also broadcasts your eye movements to a screen on the front of your headset, and the combination of the two is what leaks your password. If you are just in VR looking at a virtual keyboard to type, it's no big deal. If you are typing on a physical keyboard and people are videotaping your eyes, it's no big deal. The combination of the two is the problem.
