Gaze and Attention

Two-system pipeline for natural eye and head behavior — Attention selects focus targets, Gaze drives procedural eye tracking, head rotation, saccades, and blinks.

The Gaze & Attention utility adds natural eye contact and head tracking to AI characters. It runs entirely inside Unity — no data is sent to Convai — and operates independently of the session lifecycle.
