Zuckerberg said yesterday on Instagram that eye tracking is coming back in a future headset.

I don't doubt it will, but I bet Meta knows the limitations and that the controller it has is the best there is, and eye tracking will be used for some purposes.

I was expecting Apple would reinvent that with a concept nobody had imagined before. They didn't. Zero innovation.

Doesn't look like an Apple product to me.

Earpods from Apple was more innovative and had a better factor form than likely this Apple Vision Pro will have in 10 years!

Probably why the engineers didn't want to release it. I seem to recall a bunch of folks at Apple were pretty up in arms that this was coming out, and that upper management basically forced their hand because they were worried Facebook would run away with the market.

Eye tracking is useful so they'll likely add it back, but he also said it's limiting as the only form of input.
I'm not sure what to think about him saying that a neural link is the solution.
They showed off some EMG wristband prototype before. Probably more of an aspirational concept than a real product though.
