Oculus
Research Instrument · Beta

A reader that watches where you read, and helps when you get stuck.

Oculus uses your webcam to track where your eyes move across a lesson. When it sees you dwell, re-read, or stall, it offers a context-specific hint in the moment you need it — not a moment before. All processing happens locally in your browser. Nothing leaves your device.

01
Webcam Only
A quick 9-point calibration teaches a regression model where your eyes are looking. No dedicated hardware, no cloud, no API calls. Your webcam feed never leaves this tab.
02
Content as Bricks
Lessons are broken into small bricks — paragraph-sized units. Webcam gaze is accurate at that scale. The system knows which brick you're in, for how long, and where you came from.
03
Helps on Signal
When a stall or regression is detected, an adjacent hint slot fills with help specific to that brick. No scripted interruptions. The system only speaks when your reading pattern asks it to.

Your browser may not support webcam access. Oculus works best in recent Chrome, Firefox, Edge, or Safari, on a desktop or laptop with a webcam. Mobile browsers and older desktops often won't work.
Calibration takes about 45 seconds.
