Eye Tracking Is a Lie We Keep Telling Ourselves

Eye tracking has been sold as the future of hands-free computing, but the dirty secret is that human gaze is inherently unstable—your eyes never truly hold still. The real breakthrough isn’t better cameras or smarter algorithms. It’s fusing gaze with subtle muscle signals (EMG) to create hybrid systems that stabilize what biology can’t. For assistive tech users, this distinction is everything.
