The Vision Pro uses 3D avatars on calls and for streaming. These researchers used eye tracking to work out the passwords and PINs people typed with their avatars.

New ~~fear~~ worry unlocked....

Seems like this was done by working out passwords based on figuring out where people were looking and gesturing, rather than looking directly at the keyboard.

As a person using an uncommon keyboard layout, I reckon this would make it harder to hack my typing.

IF I could even get such a layout on wherever VR system I would theoretically be using... 😬
