Eye tracking mouse cursor for Ubuntu

You can add a ppa for eviacam. It uses "head movements".

You can add the ppa and install eviacam using the following commands:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:cesar-crea-si/eviacam
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install eviacam

On 18.04, eviacam is available through the Universe repository, however, it fails with a GTK error.

To work around this issue, manually download the 19.10 version of eviacam and use that instead.

I used gdebi to install and resolve dependencies like in the following example:

sudo apt install gdebi
wget http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/universe/e/eviacam/eviacam_2.1.3-4.1_amd64.deb
sudo gdebi eviacam_2.1.3-4.1_amd64.deb

On 19.10 and newer, you can install from the Universe repository:

sudo add-apt-repository universe
sudo apt update
sudo apt install eviacam
