Eye tracking is new on the Beyond 2. The original Beyond did not have it, which was a real limitation for users who wanted foveated rendering to stretch their GPU budget further. Dynamic foveated rendering on a 13-megapixel headset is not a luxury, it is a practical requirement if the user wants to run modern sims at native resolution. The Beyond 2 exposes the eye data through SteamVR, which means VRChat avatars get accurate gaze, social VR users get proper eye contact, and performance-sensitive apps can render only what the user is actually looking at.
