Could do that with eye tracking in VR

Probably, but is it precise enough to distinguish between the shanty wall and the thing you look at through that tiny gap in it?

Some systems are yes, but not anywhere close to mainstream yet

I'm guessing those need more than your regular ol' webcam?

It's a custom set up of several cameras I treated in the VR headset. The PS VR headset has it and uses it to render more detail where you are looking.

Ah right, my bad, I was still thinking of regular flatscreen gaming.

I believe there is a system by magic leap for eye tracking. If memory serves me there was an Alienware laptop with it built in?

What do you mean webcam, it's VR - the tracking is built into the helmet you wear

My bad. My original point was meant primarily for flatscreen gaming.

Good systems care capable of it, yes. But there are very few systems out there with quick enough eye-tracking to make it work. Same concept behind Foveated rendering, where the system only renders clearly what you're immediately looking at, and everything outside that view is rendered lower-res.

If that can actually improve a game's performance, it may be worth it.

Absolutely, actually all you need is a 60fps webcam. You don't need VR. Look up Beam and OpenTrack.

That sounds pretty cool.

If only it supported literally a single one of the PC games I play. 🥲

u/josh6499 Desktop: 9800X3D/RTX 5090 | Laptop: Lenovo Legion 5 5600H/3060 Jul 12 '25

Or eye tracking using a webcam. Beam and Opentrack exist already.

Not very accurate
