The Potential and Challenges of Eye-Tracking Technology in Assistive VR/AR Devices

Eye-tracking, as an emerging technology in recent years, holds tremendous potential for development in assistive VR/AR devices. In this application, eye-tracking technology can be used to enhance the user's experience by enabling functions such as interface selection and manipulation, gaze point detection, and improved rendering accuracy, thereby providing more realistic eye contact. Despite companies like Apple and Microsoft achieving significant milestones in the application of eye-tracking technology on AR/VR devices, the long-term development still faces challenges due to the requirement of maintaining high-precision tracking during rapid eye movements.
