I have been exploring python and a few other programming languages during my time pursuing Computer Science & Engineering for my bachelors degree.
During the early
years of college I’ve been messing around with computer vision during my free time & tried
building an Eye Tracker Mouse similar to what the computer vision company “Tobii” developed years
earlier.
Needless to say I briefly wanted one of
their devices because it looked cool...
Context
This was a small project inspired by Tobii's Eye tracing devices to explore Python further than what the college curriculum required.
Approach
Existing Python computer vision libraries were used & a model was trained to place and track markers on the eye of the user to determine where they were looking on the screen. A frontend UI for this project was attempted with the electron JS wrapper, coded in TypeScript React.
Outcome
A sub-optimal but interesting application was developed. A Frame throughput of 60hz was achieved. A deeper understanding of the limitations of GPU compute was found.
