The Vision Pro uses 3D avatars on calls and for streaming. These researchers used eye tracking to work out the passwords and PINs people typed with their avatars.

Seems like something strapped to your face would be good use case for biometrics
Couldn’t you theoretically do the same thing by tracking someone’s eye movements on video chat, if they look at their keyboard while typing?
Maybe but I’m guessing most cameras don’t have as high of a res of your pupil?

fearworry unlocked…Seems like this was done by working out passwords based on figuring out where people were looking and gesturing, rather than looking directly at the keyboard.
As a person using an uncommon keyboard layout, I reckon this would make it harder to hack my typing.
IF I could even get such a layout on wherever VR system I would theoretically be using… 😬
Asking because I’ve never had the experience: how does one write anything while wearing a VR set? Please don’t tell me it’s one-finger “Fliegender Adler” on a giant floaty image of a keyboard?
This would utterly kill the comfort, convenience, and speed of touch typing, would it not? Ahh, progress… Even in Minority Report they had (friggin’ sweet-looking!) keyboards alongside their fancy futuristic FAUI*.
