I have tried several tutorials to try to understand some operation and I found some interesting like this one recently.
It helped me for some understanding. I thought, thanks to this tutorial, instead of a green ball, to detect people, and instead of the red point to make them black (pupils) but which will be placed elsewhere and which will have a limited movement margin (the shape of an eye, since the pupil does not leave the eye) but I do not know if this is possible. I suppose so.
But I’m not sure how to modify my code to achieve this.
