Scroll The Scroll

Automatic scrolling based on real time eye tracking with python

Scroll The Scroll Project

Scrollthescroll is a python package for automatic scrolling based on real time eye tracking using a webcam. By tracking the movement of the users pupils using a webcam it can estimate when the user has read a line and can scroll accordingly. Scrollthescroll allows a user to maintain focus on a fixed quadrant of the screen, making reading on devices easier.
