Eye-Tracking Control, 2012-2013


Intel ISEF, Finalist

In this project, I developed goggles which could track the position of a user's eyes in order to control electronics or simple prostheses.

Eye position was determined by placing photoresistors around the user’s eye, and then illuminating that eye using an infrared LED. As the pupil moves, the reflection of infrared light off the pupil and into the photoresistors would vary, allowing you to determine its position. I then placed infrared tranceiver pairs between the goggles and multiple devices so the user could control more than one device.
