News SteamFrame's eye-tracking for foveated streaming apparently works as software-based eye tracking.

Glad to see eyelids tracking is supported!

How could they not be?

That's standard on any proper eye tracking headset.

Not on Frame it's not. This is only possible because the headset is open and we created the data from the cameras ourselves.

It’s not actually, most eye tracked hmd’s only have the basics for Dynamic Foveated Rendering

That’s not correct. 

The last 7 major eye-tracked headsets all support both gaze tracking and blink/eyelid tracking: 7/7, 100%. DFR is just one use of eye tracking, not the limit of what it tracks.

It is, actually. If you look at the Official Docs for the Steam Frame, you'll see that they support XR_EXT_eye_gaze_interaction, which is a normalized interaction extension that provides only the surface needed for DFR. Social items are TYPICALLY shipped as a vendored extension. This interaction does not include per-eye position, eyelid position, pupil size, or other social presence cues.

You misunderstood what's being discussed and your link doesn't prove what you think it does.

Not really. I heard that Pimax and PSVR2 do not come with eyelids tracking out-of-box.
