Welcome to gomerlin, the public golang project for Merlin Typ2102, the embedded eye- and head-tracking goggle. The code in this repo is made available for use as library and samples for programming the Typ2102 system in golang.

The intention of this project is to lower the entry barrier for the use of Merlin in science and education. To this end, this project offers source code that exemplifies all aspects of hardware-related programming of the Merlin video glasses. This includes

• Camera
• Focus adjustment
• Inertial measurement unit
• LC-Display
• Access to Laser, IR- and fixation LEDs
• Using provided libraries (OpenCV etc.) to implement eye-tracking

The documentation of the programming interface can be found in our Wiki

Please refer to the openMerlin Wiki for a detailed documentation of the Project.
