Yesterday I properly started my masters project that will hopefully see me finishing my degree this academic year.

The project title is An Exploration of Gaze-Tracking for Augmented Reality and as the first step it involved building these rather dashing glasses.

Two webcams are mounted onto the glasses. One to provide pupil-tracking, and the other to provide an image of what the user is looking at. By correlating the two together I should be able to work out what the user is looking at, and where they’re looking at it from. Who knows exactly what I’ll do with such information, but thats what I have several months left to work out!
