Floating Eyeballs

Floating Eyeballs

Had to work on a project with the kids today, so decided to do a simple CV tracking of eyeballs.  That evolved into a realtime seperation of the eyeballs such that they are floating around the screen.  And of course adding a guassian filter to the real eyeballs makes it seem like eyes have been extracted out of their head.

This is done with a simple python script using MediaPipe from Google.  I'm amazed at how good this technology has evolved.  I tried doing hand tracking ~10 years ago and it was not great.  Eyeball tracking was a lot of fun!
