We're making an eye tracker to let my dad speak, using a kano usb webcam from @adafruit. We bought to see if it would work as a microscope lens for our semen tracking project.https://t.co/hZttF6lY5t"Prototypes are never pretty"https://t.co/safEVsTrJP
Proof of concept seems to work well. I was able to ask @nsreed yes/no questions and the computer was able to pick up his eye movement.https://t.co/z6VXMO9gSw
@nsreed We were able to test it in situation. But my dad isn't feeling very good right now and wasn't up for testing it himself.I love you dad.https://t.co/ktPh4w5TeQ
@nsreed Every single person who saw what we were building told us to keep doing it. We even saw a speech pathologist.We spent mayb $3.I'm going to focus on being near my dad until he's gone. But we're not done.https://t.co/rWECzkSXsg
