Gaze Detection and Eye Tracking: A How-To Guide
Blog post from Roboflow
Gaze detection, a technology aiming to estimate where a person is looking, offers various applications, such as enabling computer interaction without a keyboard or mouse, ensuring exam integrity in online settings, and creating immersive training experiences. This guide demonstrates how to employ Roboflow Inference, an open-source tool, to run a gaze detection model on a computer, showing the installation process and dependency setup. The model, which calculates gaze direction using video streams, can be particularly useful for assistive technologies by allowing users to control screens with their eyes. This technology not only enhances accessibility but also finds roles in fields like augmented reality and safety monitoring in heavy vehicle operations.
