('<b>Synthetic data gap:</b> The model is trained purely on synthetic data. Real eye images have '
'vastly more variability in texture, lighting, and geometry. Fine-tuning on real data (GazeCapture, '
'ETH-XGaze) is essential before production deployment.'),
('<b>No calibration:</b> The current model is calibration-free (one model for all users). '
'Adding a per-user calibration step (even just 5-9 points) typically reduces error by 30-50% '
'(MobilePoG, arxiv:2508.10268).'),
('<b>No face/eye detection:</b> The model assumes pre-cropped eye and face inputs. In a real '
'application, you need MediaPipe Face Mesh or a similar detector to extract these crops.'),
('<b>No temporal modeling:</b> Each frame is processed independently. Real eye tracking systems '
'use Kalman filtering or temporal smoothing to reduce jitter between frames.'),
('<b>No depth/distance modeling:</b> The model does not account for the distance between the '
'phone and the face, which affects the mapping from eye angle to screen position.'),

'from model predictions to screen coordinates per user.'),

'predictions for smoother, more stable gaze trajectories.'),
('<b>Dynamic gating analysis:</b> Visualize which inception branches activate for which '
'input conditions β do easy inputs really use fewer branches?'),
('<b>Real strabismus validation:</b> Evaluate on actual strabismus patients to validate '
'that the lazy eye simulation transfers to clinical reality.'),

'UniGaze-H, 632M params) to inherit knowledge from real data without increasing model size.'),
