+
+''Description''
+
+    Opengazer is an open-source gaze tracker that uses an ordinary webcam to estimate the direction of your gaze and can then pass the information to other applications. It has two version, the first one developed by Piotr Zieliński, which was supported by Samsung, and the second one is the revived version by Emli-Mari Nel, and is now supported by the European Commission in the context of the AEGIS project and the Gatsby Charitable Foundation.The workflow of the first version had three stages and those were: feature point selection, calibrating the system and tracking. This version worked the following way: first you select with your mouse the feature points, and the algorithm tracks the dots in subsequent steps. Then follows the calibrating, where a few red dots are displayed on various positions on the screen and images of the eyes are extracted. Finally gaze is predicted using the extracted eye images and the trained Gaussian Process. The current version is working on head tracking and gesture switch.

+== '''Project Anatomy''' ==
+
+**Community**: It doesn't have a community. It is a project supported by the European Commission in the context of the AEGIS project 
+
+**Leadership**: Emli-Mari Nel
+
+**Forking**: Fork your own copy at this address https://github.com/opengazer/OpenGazer, for which you will need a !GitHub account. 
+
+**Communication**: Unfortunately, this project hasn't indicated the best way to get help. There is although a discussion forum found at this address: https://sourceforge.net/p/opengazer/discussion/
+
+**Roadmaps**:  
+
+''Original goal:'' 
+ 
+  - Opengazer aims to be a low-cost software alternative to commercial hardware-based eye trackers
+
+''Goals in progress:''
+
+  - Head tracking algorithms to correct for head pose variations before inferring the gaze positions
+  - Gesture switch - train a background model to deal with involuntary motions
