EyeGestures

EyeGestures tracks where you look using an ordinary webcam. No special hardware is needed.

It is an open-source gaze tracking tool for developers who want to add eye control to accessible interfaces or run eye-tracking studies, and it is free to use.

The library works with basic webcams and phone cameras, so you can test an idea without buying a dedicated eye tracker.

You can run EyeGestures in backend servers and in desktop apps.

Getting started takes only a few lines of code, though you will probably need some programming knowledge to wire it into your own project.

There is a catch with the hardware.

Tracking accuracy depends on webcam quality, so a cheap or poorly lit camera will give weaker results than a good one.

Expect to tune your setup if precision matters for your study.

EyePointer studies may require a subscription, while the core library itself costs nothing.

For accessibility work or research prototypes on a small budget, EyeGestures is a practical place to begin.
