"Vision is the most used sense among human beings; being able to track and measure it digitally will have a great impact on how we make our intentions known to computers, wittingly or unwittingly." [1] To track human eyes using computers can have a variety of real-world applications, spanning across a myriad of industries in which society places a great deal of trust, enthusiasm and hope in the problems it aims to solve. Many use cases of this exemplary technology are seen in our everyday lives. For instance, automotive industries use this technology to promote safety while operating a vehicle, with a feature known as "glance duration," which essentially tracks the duration an operator has their eye(s) veering off the road and promptly alerts the operator to pay attention. Assistive technology, within the health industry, is another more candid example that aims to solve sufferers of severe motor impairment - the partial or total inability to use one's limb(s). This is done in a fashion that one might expect, using eye-tracking cameras and sensors to allow the user to direct their gaze to a specific and desired action, which corresponds to an action based on the intent of the device used.
