openEyes project announced

openEyes is an open-source open-hardware toolkit for low-cost eye tracking.

The purpose of openEyes is to provide hardware designs and software tools useful for the analysis of eye movement data. The development of openEyes stems from the recognition that while the cost of hardware for eye tracking has precipitously dropped in the recent past that the there is lack of freely available software to implement even long-established eye-tracking methods. The tools available in openEyes include algorithms to measure eye movements from digital videos, techniques to calibrate eye tracking systems, and software to facilitate real-time eye-tracking application development.

Feel free to visit and comment on the site. Source code and hardware designs available online. Authors of the project are also soliciting contributions to the toolkit from the community.
