How is eye tracking expensive when iOS already has it for biometrics?
Assistive technology companies like EyeGaze charge a lot for their products. This is because there is a lot of tech to ensure that it works accurately and is compatible with third party applications. Hopefully, Apple can lower the costs in the future for people with disabilities who use eye tracking technology.
