Eye-Tracking Control, 2012-2013


Intel ISEF, Finalist

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

Eye position was determined by illuminating one eye via an IR LED. Photoresistors were arrayed around the user's eye, such that as their pupil moved, the reflection of IR light into the photoresistors would vary. If one wished to control multiple electronics, an IR transceiver pair between the goggles and device determined where the user was looking. An Arduino script maintained control between all modules.
