ProcrastEnabler

Inspiration

Just a fun project about procrastination.

What it does

A java app that uses the webcam to read user's eye patterns and executes various commands, like opening websites. Useful for quickly switching between websites to appear like you're working!

How I built it

OpenCV in Java for image processing and Java Swing for the GUI

Challenges I ran into

Finding OpenCV documentation for Java, Issues with OpenCV on MacOS

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

Eye tracking and managing to handle the API

What I learned

How not to use Git and OpenCV

What's next for ProcrastEnabler

ProcrastEnabler can be extended to support more eye patterns and scripts

I worked on the UI, as well as the loading and management of eye pattern configurations and external scripts to be executed by the program.

Han Thi Nguyen
I worked on implementing the EyeDetector, the Calibrator, the CameraFeed and the heuristic Calculation class to determine open/closed eye.

Panayiotis Panayiotou
I worked on the implementation of the input from the camera to run commands by matching patterns in Java.

Rishabh Jain
I worked at back-end, accessing the camera and processing the data in a way in which my teammates can use it. Helped at coming up with a solution to finding out if an eye is open or closed. Contributed at CameraFeed and Calculation class.
