It is doing eye tracking for the foveated rendering - it has 2 cameras inside the visor for it.
They're referring to the shadertoy linked above. The illusion simulates foveated rendering on your device without eye tracking.

One day they had issues setting it up, so they call a help line. They ended up being scammed, and paid this person ~$200 to fix their issue. After it happened, they immediately called me up and asked if they were scammed.
I told them that unfortunately, they were. Surprisingly though, the scammer did actually fix their issue.
If Waymo were launching in Minneapolis I'd be surprised and delighted. But this is just more of the same.
I think the classic "Detecting unauthorized physical access with beans, lentils and colored rice" [0] approach is simpler to understand and simpler to implement. It doesn't rely on any hardware, such as a Raspberry Pi or otherwise technology which can be more easily subject to scrutiny via Ken Thompson's "Reflections on Trusting Trust".
