Your Netflix experience, hands-free. A macOS tool that uses your webcam to track head pose and eye gaze — automatically pausing Netflix when you look away and rewinding when you leave the room.
This project builds a webcam tool that tracks viewers' head direction to automatically pause Netflix playback when attention wanders and rewind by the absence duration upon return.
How It Works
You hear about a cool tool that uses your webcam to make sure you never miss a moment of your Netflix show by pausing when you look away.
Download the simple program files and get everything ready with a few easy steps.
Open your browser, head to Netflix, pick a show, and start playing a video while making sure your camera can see you.
Allow access to your camera and let the tool gently connect to your browser so it can watch and control playback.
Perfect for watching alone – it tracks just you.
Great for couples – pauses only when both are looking.
Position yourself in front of the camera, let it learn your normal gaze in seconds, then look away to see Netflix pause automatically or step out for a snack and return to a perfect rewind.
Now enjoy your shows without distractions or missed parts, feeling like the video knows exactly when you're tuned in.
