Could you build this?

Partial The window-focus and pointer logic is straightforward macOS work, but reliable webcam gaze estimation is a hard perception problem that vibe coding won't solve on its own.

What it would actually take: Build a native macOS app in Swift that uses AVFoundation for camera capture and Apple Vision or MediaPipe for face and iris landmarks, then maps those to screen coordinates through a calibration step. Focus changes go through the Accessibility APIs and window-server calls. The hard parts are gaze accuracy across users, lighting, and head poses, plus the adaptive learning from clicks, which needs ML and computer-vision expertise and extensive testing.
