    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.
