# pupilometry glasses

3D-printed glasses with small cameras that track eye movement to control a mouse cursor, with blink or head movement for clicking. feasibility questions: datasets for CV, how existing pupilometry works (possibly reverse engineer), whether pupilometry can track at fine enough grain (if not, could click randomly in area or use ML to predict click target).

pivot possibility: a face-watching camera that captures expressions (yawning, scratching face) and maps them to keyboard shortcuts, notifications, or "punishment" for bad habits.

noted limitation: Apple Vision Pro basically solves eye tracking better, and Meta smart glasses solve it even more portably. this connects to the [[emg-bracelet|EMG bracelet]] idea as another hands-free computer control approach. cameras could come from monitor camera modules.
