Which was a fail in that it did work very well, became gimmicky, never heard of again. Its only a useful feature if its useful
gaze control ??
creepy...
A finger isn't useful enough anymore ? Wow, that was short lived.
So, we may start seeing users eyes suddenly looking in all directions, and u ask "What are u doing", and the reply would be "I'm moving the cursor on my iOS device"
Still.... creepy.

I'm not 100% certain, but I feel like Apple had patents on eye tracking software dating back to at least 2-3 years ago and being reported here on MR? Perhaps it was around the same time that Samsung was trying to implement this tech into their Galaxy smartphone lineup? I checked the web but couldn't find anything other than this most recent development. Doubt I imagined this so any help is appreciated.

Okay, so not exactly patents per say, but they were kicking the tires on this tech.

That second Apple mouse, the laser one with the trackball is the best mouse ever invented. I honestly couldn't live or work without one. (No hyperbole here.)

Yes, iProducts were designed for aliens, but so happen we human-being loved it.

Now we have the answer why Apple didn't think stylus is a solution, since even touch screen is not soon because later on they will introduce Stare Screen!!
maybe we can introduce a floating phone with stare screen. It will definitely look cool.
okay, i played too much online game with summons.

Yep - hes repeating the mantra - must get thinner, and thinner,
thinner = perfection
thinner=zen nirvana
Its funny because most people thought it was a useless feature.......until Apple puts it on a device that is.......
Apple does seem to be obsessed with anything that grabs the attention of the public, no matter the topic. Seems to reflect it's narcissistic culture as embedded by the prior CEO.

brilliant
