I&amp;#x27;ll expect that eye tracking solutions for normal monitors will also become more mainstream once people get used to it in the Vision Pro and want to use it elsewhere.</text></comment>

People will get over the hype period and then realize hey this isn&amp;#x27;t actually faster or more efficient than a traditional tool. Apple knows this as well, it&amp;#x27;s why they&amp;#x27;re marketing it as a media consumption device first and foremost, where a lot of these problems can be safely ignored.</text></comment>
