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,

Wow, that's gotta be at least ten years away (a smooth finger tracking experience in a VR context).

VR's gonna be so exciting in the future, but being 40 now I feel I'm going to be an old and weak man by the time it's here.
