We have implemented an Eye Gaze tracking system ( currently in Beta version ) using a series of algorithms. It computes the following :

• Pupil detection

• Facial Normal

• Gaze direction

To have a look into how we did it, just clone the repository and checkout v1.0.

$ cd eye-gaze
$ git checkout tags/v1.0
$ make

Or you can download eye-gaze v1.0 directly from releases.

For a trial,

$ cd eye-gaze
$ ./bin/oic

• OpenCV ( used 2.4.9 )
