It will make a lot more sense with the future generations of VR when they finally include eye tracking. Not only will that make navigation in menus and browsers great but the next step would be virtual keyboards you can use with your eyes.

The coming years and gens of VR are gonna be exciting. Not sure if we will see eye tracking in the next gen or even gen 3. but Gen 4 could be something great with Gen 5 perfecting it.

But will virtual keyboard used with eye tracking be useful for a lot of us? (people with some kind of disability could benefit greatly from it). It will still be faster to type on a keyboard.

But eye tracking on videogames, to move the camera to not only our head points, but also our eyes look, that would be great.

Everyone who wants to use a browser or do any typing in VR will use it. It's basically inevitable. I could even see this move to smart devices for regular typing once the eye tracking is advanced enough.

I can't see myself using that. I hope there's an option to turn it off.

A virtual keyboard using just eye tracking would be very tiring if used regularly, just try focusing your sight on a series a few tens objects for more than a few tens consecutive times, if you don't believe it, and consider that two lines of text can already exceed one hundred characters.

A virtual keybord using tracking of fingers movements on it could be fine instead, the eye won't be stressed more than when using a real kb, but it will require motion control fine enough to precisely track phalanges to work, and there are others applications that will greatly benefit from VR+motion control so fine, if they even won't be possible at all without, that's the reason why I'm quite sure that this generation of VR devices will start launching VR a lot better than the previous ones, but it won't be the one that makes it mainstream.

Anyway I agree that for people with disabilities current devices could already be a great improvement compared to previous ones.

 Why use your hands when you can use your eyes?

A 6700k is less than 20% faster than a 2600k in games. That is with a 10% higher clock.

However that does not make the Zen improvement impressive as they basically started from the very bottom already.

The animations won't change because those are the standard Piranha' ones. I don't think i saw much better from them before.

PB is one of my most loved devs, but I'm really a bit dissapointed with what I've seen so far from ELEX...not just animations, but the whole world seems...I don't know...weird. I mean, I recognise their signature landscape design, but overall whole mishmash of tech and medieval seems quite...off.

Pitty they opted for this instead of new Gothic.
