I would agree that the putting goggles over your face is absurd and it will never be a hit, not in a million years. However! Having that proof of concept to be able to manipulate your environment with just a gesture of your fingers and simply by looking at something - this I believe can be extended to external cameras, screens, and all sorts of IoT devices.

The eye tracking uses multiple cameras centimetres from your face. Eye and gesture tracking don't require expensive VR hardware projects to code up.

Not to mention how dry your eyes would be from wearing that thing for hours, like seriously, why is no one talking about that?

[cracrecry]

I have used several VR devices. Never had a problem with dry eyes.

>why is no one talking about that?

Because it is not an issue for most people?

Because dry eyes is not an issue that plagues the majority of people.

And whilst you do blink less whilst wearing VR glasses it's on par with looking at a computer screen.

It's not like it prevents you from blinking

Why would your eyes be drier? If anything they'd be more moist because there's less air movement around them right?

Also moisture is trapped in the enclosure between eye and screen.
