Summary:
"This research is important because it can be used to better train image recognition algorithms to track eye movements, which is important for virtual reality and future computer interfaces. However, the real milestone is how open and collaborative this research is: for a company traditionally quite secretive about its research and development, Apple has now published its data in an open access paper, using datasets from the University of Cambridge and the Max Plank Institute for Informatics."
