EyeDrive: A Reliable and Affordable Gaze-Controlled RC Car

According to the National Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Center, every year, there are approximately 17,700 new incidences of spinal cord injuries in the United States, many of which result in either partial or complete loss of mobility. Our EyeDrive systems aims to reliably and affordably help patients retain their mobility by empowering their eyes and enabling them to control a first-person-view RC car with nothing but their eye-gaze!

This is achieved using:

-The OpenCV framework in Python;
-2 Arduino UNOs
- A 2.4GHz Antenna (NRF24L01)
- A Dual Motor Motor Driver (L298N)
- 4 AA Batteries
- 1 Raspberry Pi
