EyeGestures revolutionizes the way we interact with technology by making gaze tracking accessible to everyone. This open-source library eliminates the need for expensive custom hardware, allowing users to utilize just a basic laptop or smartphone webcam for eye tracking. Designed with openness in mind, EyeGestures lowers the entry point for building gaze-driven interfaces and conducting eye tracking studies, making it a valuable tool for researchers, developers, and enthusiasts alike.
The library is Python-driven, offering flexibility in implementation whether it's in a backend server or a desktop application. Its ease of use is unparalleled; integrating EyeGestures into your project requires adding just a few lines of code. For those looking to support the project further, a custom app is available for purchase.
EyeGestures also offers practical applications such as EyeFocus, a privacy and productivity-oriented app that blurs or locks your screen when you look away, and EyePointer, an affordable platform for conducting short eye tracking studies. These tools not only showcase the versatility of the EyeGestures library but also contribute to the project's sustainability.
Developed by Piotr Walas at NativeSensors, EyeGestures is a testament to the power of open-source software in advancing technology and making it accessible to a wider audience. Whether you're a seasoned developer or a curious newcomer, EyeGestures provides a straightforward and cost-effective solution for exploring the potential of gaze tracking technology.
