Open Source Eye Tracking - Initial Results

I've been working on building an Open Source eye tracking system since I worked on my first eye tracking study back in 2008. I'll discuss my experiences in a series of blog posts to follow. Today's post is all about results.

I've put together a cheap eye tracking system using a 10 dollar web camera, Ogama, and ITU Gaze Tracker. At the moment, the tracking hardware is a total hack and held together with duct tape, zip ties, and solder. After putting the apparatus together this morning, I did some initial tests. Given the very early prototype nature of the hardware, the calibration is a bit off. But the results are impressive, regardless.
