Abstract
Statement of Problem - Can a $1000 eye-tracking system allow a head-constrained user (without glasses) to type 30
characters per minute? The system can use a 24" monitor with up to three cameras mounted on it
to observe both eyes. The monitor should be mounted 30" away from the user to reduce eye
strain.
Sources of Data - This project relies on prior knowledge of machine vision from a course at California State
University, Sacramento and manufacturer data sheets provided by each vendor. Also, the
software written for this project uses a Python library provided by a camera manufacturer.
Conclusions Reached - An eye-tracking system can be made under budget and meet all requirements. The accuracy will
need to be improved with additional programming or inexpensive hardware, but this project does
provide evidence that it is possible.
