Sadly, 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.

I 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?
