What Will Apple Do With Swedish Eye-Tracking Technology?

Posted by timothy on Wednesday January 13, 2010 @08:51AM from the oh-just-the-usual dept.

andylim writes "An article on recombu.com explores the possibility that Apple is gearing up to launch eye-tracking technology soon. Citing a patent filed in 2008 that mentions 'gaze vectors' and a recent purchase of units from a Swedish eye-tracking company, the author suggests that the inclusion of eye-tracking tech in the company's forthcoming tablet would be Jobs's magnum opus. 'What better flourish to a career that began with the popularization of windows, icons, mouse and pointer than to usurp them all?'"

I can see how Apple's marketing department would be interested in "gays tracking".

How is a woman like a computer? You can't appreciate one until it goes down on you.
How is a working computer system like an erect penis? It stays up as long as you don't fuck with it.
