Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, most standard USB webcams or integrated laptop cameras with adequate resolution and frame rate will work, provided the lighting conditions are stable enough for the software to track your eyes.
Not necessarily, as the primary software requirement is OpenCV for computer vision and Python scripting. A basic understanding of Python will help you follow and modify the code logic.
The mounted light helps ensure consistent illumination of the eye, reducing shadows and making it easier for the camera and OpenCV algorithms to accurately track pupil movement.
