Vision Track

Help is just one look away!

The problem Vision Track solves

Inspiration:
-> Those who are physically confined or paralyzed and who cannot effectively communicate through body language or verbal language can also make use of the advancing technology.
-> We wanted to make a web app implementing eye movement based tracking and health management to help the deprived and paralyzed one to communicate with others.

Our solution:
This project is a paralyzed assistive eye based technology. It features our windows’ application and python scripts that uses a webcam and the web browser to allow interactions through only eye movement that controls the movement of the cursor.

What it does:
The website will allow the user to communicate their needs and feelings to people nearby as it can be linked directly to a nurse or medical personnel's contact information (i.e. computer, phone, or pager) as well as contact people outside of the hospital such as friends and family through an SMS server.

Challenges we ran into

-> We struggled with figuring out how to feed the eye gazing data into the cursor movement. Registering the eye movement was the most difficult portion.
-> We invented something completely new that will make eye tracking software accessible to everyone through the internet whereas most eye tracking technology is confined to install-able software packages. Furthermore, it was difficult to incorporate twilio using only JavaScript to make it a client-side based feature.
