* Eye tracking can reveal what you look at, for how long, and in what sequence, which correlates with attention, preferences, and sometimes emotional state.<ref name=":0" />
* High‑resolution eye trackers often capture iris images and facial features, so they double as biometric identifiers and can be used to spoof or attack iris‑based authentication.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Hosfelt |first=Diane |last2=Shadowen |first2=Nicole |date=2020-07-20 |title=Privacy Implications of Eye Tracking in Mixed Reality |url=https://arxiv.org/abs/2007.10235 |url-status=live |access-date=2026-03-17 |website=Arxiv}}</ref>
