You can tell a lot about someone from their eyes. They can indicate how tired you are, the type of mood you're in, and potentially provide clues about health problems. Today, a group of six computer scientists are revealing a new attack against Apple's Vision Pro mixed reality headset where exposed eye-tracking data allowed them to decipher what people entered on the device's virtual keyboard. The attack, dubbed GAZEploit and shared exclusively with WIRED, allowed the researchers to successfully reconstruct passwords, PINs, and messages people typed with their eyes. "Based on the direction of the eye movement, the hacker can determine which key the victim is now typing," says Hanqiu Wang, one of the leading researchers involved in the work.

Your latest iPhone update is officially here. While the lock screen customizations introduced in iOS 16 formed the big visual change last year, Apple has now applied a similar makeover to your phone calls and contact lists. And at a time when there is no shortage of video call apps and services, it's trying to make FaceTime even more compelling. When I previewed the developer build a month or so ago, I focused on messages and FaceTime, both of which got a lot of attention in this update. After a little more time with the finished product, iOS 17 feels like a big quality-of-life upgrade for iPhone users.

Earlier this year, Zoom announced a Byzantine policy change that, if I thought about it at all when it happened, I probably would have expected to have almost no impact on my life: One-on-one video calls, which had previously been free and unrestricted for all non-paying users of its platform, would now have a 40-minute time limit just like group calls. A bummer for thrifty Zoom power users, perhaps, but at the time, I was blessed to live an existence of only sporadic Zooming. Then a few months ago I had occasion to start using Zoom a little more frequently. I would love to leave the reasons for this sudden Zoomassaince vague and retain one emotional support shred of dignity, but there's no real way to explain the rest without disclosing the following: I had decided it was time to "get back out there" and was using Zoom to go on video dates. After meeting and chatting with people on dating apps, I would suggest we talk on video before actually getting together in person, et violà: video date.

It is not uncommon for people to look fondly on their AI devices. "Alexa is my friend," says one senior. It is nice to have a friendly AI there to talk to, and to have it play music, tell you a joke, adjust your lights and room temperature and, in Lawrence's case, set the alarm clock. Today, more groups and organizations are studying the potential of interacting with Alexa as an intervention for loneliness in the elderly. For example, AARP Foundation has a program for "Social Connectedness Voice-activated Technology", which has a goal of determining whether technology of this type can help older adults fight isolation and loneliness.

Double Robotics' newest robot has a mind of its own. The previous iterations of the Double 3 had been more like "FaceTime on wheels," co-founders Marc DeVidts and David Cann said in a recent phone call about the telepresence robot on self-balancing wheels. But starting Tuesday, the screen on the roving bot will come with better built-in camera options -- and it can get around with just a few clicks. Called "click-to-drive," the human controlling the bot from a computer back at home can control the robot with their face beaming in from a built-in screen. Earlier versions required an iPad to work with the wheel-based robot.

One of the many potential use cases for augmented reality headsets like Magic Leap and Microsoft's HoloLens is collaboration in the workplace. Instead of using something like Skype or Slack to have your remote meetings, you could strap on a headset and chat with co-workers in a "face-to-face" setting. One company exploring this idea is Spatial, which created an office collaboration platform that not only lets you chat with colleagues but also manipulate virtual objects in 3D space. Co-founders Anand Agarawala and Jinha Lee have prior experience with AR and 3D projects at companies like Google and Samsung and decided to build Spatial together a couple of years ago. "Most people in AR and VR are interested in gaming and entertainment," Agarawala told Engadget.

At the 2018 Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in San Jose, Apple announced updates for iOS, macOS, tvOS and watchOS. This year, Apple revealed iOS 12 as the successor to last year's iOS 11. iOS 12 seems to emphasize performance improvements for Apple's devices rather than introducing groundbreaking features. By rolling out new features gradually through minor point updates going forward, it will prevent Apple's engineers from having to scramble to fix bugs as soon as a new major operating system is released as they had to in the past. The flagship features of iOS 11 included Apple Pay Cash, Do Not Disturb While Driving, real-time Siri translations, a customizable Control Center, the new Files app, document scanning in the Notes app, multitasking in iPad, indoor mall and airport maps and redesigned News, Music and App Store apps. And iOS 12 is bringing substantial performance improvements, Group FaceTime, customizable Animoji known as Memoji, seamless Camera Effect sharing, ARKit 2, Screen Time, better Notification Center and Do Not Disturb controls, Search Suggestions in Photos, a new Measure app, shortcuts with Siri, additional privacy controls in Safari and several redesigned Apple apps.

Apple is tackling smartphone addiction and adding group video chats to FaceTime in the new iOS12. Craig Federighi, Apple's senior vice president of software engineering, shows new iOS12 features that allow users to see how much time they're spending on their mobile devices, at the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference Monday, June 4, 2018, in San Jose, Calif. Bravo, Apple is finally tackling smartphone addiction. These are the two key standout features that will be coming to the iPhone as part of an iOS 12 software upgrade that Apple unveiled Monday at its annual Worldwide Developers Conference in San Jose. Such models could be as ancient as the iPhone 5s, or the same handsets supported by iOS 11.

Apple has unveiled an update to animoji that will allow users to create their own personalized characters called'memojis' that can be used in a new version of FaceTime Apple first introduced Animoji with the iPhone X, the only device it works for due to the front-facing True Depth camera. Originally limited to few character options such as a cat, unicorn, or a poop, the company has now expanded the feature in iOS 12. The new'memoji' was allows people to make animated versions of themselves from within the Messages app. An animoji Tim Cook takes part in a FaceTime Group chat at Apple's WWDC event. The firm has added groups chat and a new'memoji' feature for the first time.

Apple's annual Worldwide Developers Conference is always full of surprises. USA TODAY's Jefferson Graham previews what we can expect in Talking Tech. The new iPhone X is seen on display at the Apple Union Square store on Nov. 3, 2017, in San Francisco. The iPhone X's lush screen, facial-recognition skills and $1,000 price tag are breaking new ground in Apple's marquee product line. Now, the much-anticipated device is testing the patience of consumers and investors as demand outstrips suppliers' capacity.
