EYE_Power

• 

  Screenshot feature when you blink thrice in quick succession

• 

  Blink more than 4 times? Well, we are worried you might be staring into your screen for too long!

Inspiration

Heard a video introduction via the opening and wanted to do some openCV image tracking software.

What it does

Track your eye movements and perform simple tasks.

To put it simply, give you the authority to have 'eye-power'!

How I built it

Python and OpenCV, using the massive amount of tutorials online

Challenges I ran into

Huge challenges like finding the accurate threshold for the recognition to work etc.

Moreover, when working at night, the changes in lighting made some of the values required for accurate tracking invalid, thus I had to re-calibrate.

Lastly, trying to pipe the video footage to OpenCV before into other platforms require a secondary video device which I had to tinker with some kernel related issues before continuing.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

Finishing an openCV project for the first time.

What I learned

How to use simple available libraries to make powerful functions. I am surprised by the massive amount of pre-trained AI/ML datasets as well as good documentation which are freely available online.

What's next for EYE_Power

More powerful ways so that eye power will never be scoffed at again. Perhaps integration into video conferencing tools to make life better. Otherwise, perhaps some accessibility assistance.

TBH, those are my goals while trying to do this project but unfortunately I am unable to do so...
