Their eyes were watching God... and you... Disney released news of a patent that will follow the whites of your eyes so they know where you're looking at all times. Aaauuuggghhhh!!!
Here's how they describe it: By tracking the gaze of a participant, a computing system may direct various animatronics, automated objects or the like to interact with the participant. For example, a computing system within a theme park may direct an animatronic character from a movie to make a noise if a participant is looking at the animatronic character.
The participant gazes at an object, which may be any type of object that draws the gaze of participant such as an animatronic, robot, actor, puppet, product on a shelf, information display and the like. Upon detection of the gaze of the participant at the object, an interaction may be initiated between the object and the participant by the object. For example, the object may provide a greeting to the participant, sing a song, make a noise, make a movement, or the like.
The "product on a shelf" interests me because let's say you're in World of Disney store and eyeing 3 dolls. Look at the Belle doll and you hear "Bonjour." Look at the Ariel doll and "I want to be part of your world!" And on and on.
