Nice. I did something simple here awhile back with a CFFI wrapper for OpenCV. http://tech.magnetic.com/2015/11/real-time-facial-recognitio...

But Jurassic Park theme!

Can it track eye movements? A cheap eye tracker would be awesome so all the window's i'm looking at are in focus.

This method is just for face recognition. If you're interested in tracking eye movements take a look at face detection + facial landmarks:

And then techniques to localize the center of the eye:

We released a C/C++ computer vision library (Python binding to follow) earlier this month which let you perform face recognition at Real-time from IoT or Raspberry PI devices. The library is dependency free, cross platform and should compile fine on most modern architectures with a C compiler.

A bit unrelated but I'm in a need for some sort of cat deterrent that will spray water at all cats except mine. Also it would be nice if humans were exempted as well.

I haven't done the legwork myself yet, but would this be an appropriate project to check out for this? (As for identifying my cat I've been thinking about alternative solutions such as rfid necklace or something but it is quickly getting past 'quick hack').
