Eye Camera

The power of vision is taken one step ahead with the introduction of sophisticated eye-tracking and gaze-tracking techniques which track the movement of the eye and the gaze location to control various applications.

This eye camera can be developed in many ways, some of them are we can build it by programming a microcontroller, by using DAQ or by using Arduino board. Here we are going to build the eye camera using LabVIEW and a Arduino board which can be build easily and cheaply.

Eye camera is developed so that we can control the camera with the help of eye blink. The whole system was developed in such a way that whenever eye is blinked it must take capture an image. Here we use the LabVIEW technology where we write a code to turn the camera on and off which is interdependent on the eye blink. Firstly we need to check whether the eye blinked or not for this we use IR module which is placed right in front of the eye.

This is a new method of controlling the camera using software. It is not portable now but once it becomes portable, it can be used by hikers, paragliders, and reporters and also by paralyzed people because it just works with the blink of an eye.
