Geekmaster, I saw your thread on EOG eye tracking. EOG can also identify blinks. Do you think it would be expensive to implement in the Rift?

Probably not expensive, but Palmer Luckey says a device with electrodes will not be commercially viable until reliable dry electrodes become available. That was in the context of GVS, as I recall, but it applies here as well. Until we have reliable dry electrodes, such technology as EOG is mostly limited to researches and DIY makers, or dedicated parents and caretakers for handicapped individuals who rely on such technology.

Most consumers would have trouble being dedicated enough to take such a device out of the drawer after the initial novelty wears off, even IF they figure out how to apply it and adjust it properly.
