About the Author

Perry Brauner
I'm an architect by trade, but the overarching theme of my life has always been trying to keep up with the newest, coolest technology. Ever since I picked up an NES controller, I've been hooked on the latest and greatest gadgets, gizmos, and toys. Whether it's gaming, mobile phones, and accessories, or PCs and Apple products, I'm interested. I use many Apple products in my daily life, such as the iPhone, iPad, and my MacBook Pro. I've also built a few PCs in my day, so I'd like to say that I'm a pretty well-rounded techie.

  1. “OEM vendors could likely add this sensor to their handsets
    for just five dollars”

    If modifying the device to add eye-tracking only adds 5
    dollars to the manufacturing cost, then I’m sure that at least one of the
    smartphone, tablet, notebook, and laptop manufacturers will make the supposedly
    easy camera modification.
