The Vision Pro uses 3D avatars on calls and for streaming. These researchers used eye tracking to work out the passwords and PINs people typed with their avatars.

That should be an easy fix in a future software update by simply not replicating eye movement as soon as the user is looking at the keyboard.

The solution is constant googly eyes.

Let's be honest: the solution is always googly eyes.

Sounds like what they already did: as soon as the virtual keyboard pops up the eye movement isn't transmitted as part of the avatar.

Oh I see. According to the article:

The GAZEpolit researchers reported their findings to Apple in April and subsequently sent the company their proof-of-concept code so the attack could be replicated. Apple fixed the flaw in a Vision Pro software update at the end of July, which stops the sharing of a Persona if someone is using the virtual keyboard.

An Apple spokesperson confirmed the company fixed the vulnerability, saying it was addressed in VisionOS 1.3.
