Eyesite – Experimental website combining computer vision and web design

I wanted Apple Vision Pros, but I don’t have $3,500 in my back pocket. So I made Apple Vision Pros at home. This was just a fun little project I made. Currently, the website doesn't work on screens less than 1200x728 (Sorry mobile users!) It also might struggle on lower end devices. For best results, have a webcam pointing right at you. I tested my website with a MacBook camera. Any comments, questions, or suggestions are greatly appreciated! blog: https://blog.andykhau.com/blog/eyesite check it out: https://eyesite.andykhau.com/ github:…

In plain words

Eyesite is an experimental website that uses computer vision to create a spatial computing experience similar to Apple Vision Pro, accessible through a standard webcam. It requires a desktop screen of at least 1200x728 pixels and performs best with a MacBook camera positioned to capture the user's face. The project is designed for developers and tech enthusiasts interested in exploring computer vision applications in web design on consumer hardware.

I wanted Apple Vision Pros, but I don’t have $3,500 in my back pocket. So I made Apple Vision Pros at home. I was interested in making a project that combined computer vision with web design—a website that users could physically interact with. This inspired me to make Eyesite , because who needs a mouse when you have your eyes? Luckily, there is already a Javascript library for eye tracking called WebGazer.js . We can achieve decent eye tracking through calibration: I found that it was best to get 5 mappings per point for better eye tracking accuracy. Calibration in debug mode. The top right shows how WebGazer tracks your eyes and face. The red dot is where it thinks I’m looking. Now that…from blog.andykhau.com

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

    Hey HN! Pilots everywhere are required to keep a logbook of all their flying hours, aircraft, airports, and so on. Since I track everything digitally (some people still just use paper logbooks!), I put together some data visualizations and a few 3D globes to show my flying history. This globe is probably my favourite so far: https://jameshard.ing/pilot/globes/all If you’ve got ideas for other graphs or ways to show this kind of data, I’d love to hear them!

  • I was the main contributor to workout.lol, an open-source fitness app to easily build a workout routine. The project had traction (1.4k GitHub stars, 95 forks, ~20K visits/month), but was eventually sold due to video licensing hurdles. The new owner stopped maintaining it, and the repo went abandoned. Over the next 9 months, I sent 15 emails to try to save it : no replies. Feature requests & issues were ignored. The community was left with a "broken" tool let's say. I couldn't just let it die So I built the new version from scratch with the same open-source spirit, but a better…
