I'm starting to develop RSI in my wrists and hands, and have been looking at eye tracking systems as a potential way to help reduce the amount of clicking that I need to do.

I was thinking maybe I could put webgazer.js into a chrome extension and use it to navigate through pages for me, but I don't think it has a click mechanism.

fwiw - I'm a huge vimium extension user as keyboarding is less of a strain than mouse movement.




quite a few folks in the voice programing community supplement voice commands with eye tracking using dedicated hardware. Talon [1] is considered an excellent resource in that field and there are also people in the Caster/dragonfly[2] ecosystem using EyeXMouse [3] and wolfmanstout [4] also has some work worth checking out.

Have you looked at https://eviacam.crea-si.com/ ? Supports Windows, GNU/Linux, and Android, works globally, and runs separately from the browser. (Technically not eye tracking, but close enough)


Wow! I had not, but that looks like it might do the trick. Thanks!


Check out Talon Voice. It's way better than these solutions.
