What's New in Hawkeye Access

2.2.2

Bug fixes and other small improvements

Optimistically hopeful

Fascinating! This gives you an idea of how the eye-tracking technology works on the Apple Vision Pro. I've played about with it but have not really mastered the use of it. I'm sure it can be used in some circumstances. There is only voice inputting instead of a keyboard. A solid product with interesting applicational use for those who can't move or hold a iPhone or iPad with their hands. The sky is the limit!

Bruh come on…

I have an Iphone and I was watching a eye tracker video. So i thought it would be fun for me to do one. I download this app. It had me look around. Like a staring test then I tried it out cause it looked good. After it finished it showed where i was looking at. It was totally off. I looked at the top of my camera and it literally showed I looked on the bottom of my phone this is a horrible app. I will advise you not to download it.

Cool but needs accuracy improvements.

It’s really cool that you can control your iPhone with just your eyes, but even after multiple calibration attempts it will jitter the cursor if I blink and it goes out of calibration or something because when I look at a context button the cursor doesn’t hover over it. Also during calibration it can be kind of hard not to blink, you almost need eye drops to do it.

TLDR; it needs better calibration.
