I have been recently working with webcam-based eye tracking for the game of go/baduk and in helping people along the autitic spectrum (ASD). I have been VIBE Coding around webgazer and similar open source projects but have been frustrated with the inaccuracy of at least Open Source webcam eye tracking. I am recalling with some fondness the tracker produced about 8 years ago by The Eye Tribe which sold in this range, but unfortunately for us was acquired by META/Facebook/Oculus and is no longer available. I have been interacting with various LLM-based design tools including Schematik for Maker/Microcontroller projects and at least they predict for a parts cost of $60-$80 in 100 quantiy that a similar (but avoiding Intellectual Property and Patent Issues) could be produced today to be sold at break-even for $150.00. How much interest would there be in the psychophysiology and HCI and Rehabilitation Engineering community for such a product. While I now have a costed parts list for these needs I don't have the hardware and contract manufacturing skills to make this happen. If we could be associated with such a successful project with a base of Open Source Hardware and Software I would be most gratified. But as a 72 year old individual with limited hardware experience I can't make it happen alone.--Comments/Everybody????
