Amazing, though they are obviously not the first to achieve it, it's amazing how much it takes to calculate something that the brain does it automatically.

I wonder if it can track your eyes fast enough to play starcraft lol

The reason it's so cheap is because it's so crap; the cameras are stuck onto the glasses and you also cannot move your head at all if you want it to work.

It has existed much longer than this. In the mid 90's they had cameras that focused where your eye was looking. I am surprised it has not resurfaced in many other places before this.
