Hands-free Coding with Gaze Control in JavaScript

Prototype uses a webcam and tensorflow.js gaze estimation plus an electron + robot.js bridge to emit keystrokes into an editor. The author packages the gaze math as a gaze-detection npm package that normalizes iris-to-face coords and treats normalized x > 0.355 as “right” to iteratively halve a phrasebook until one snippet is selected. Demo types a short React component in ~30 seconds. Works but needs good lighting, per-editor camera limits, and has dataset bias risks.
