Eye Detection with Alarm

This is a Python script that uses OpenCV to detect eyes and sound an alarm if they are closed for more than a minute. This can be used as a safety feature for drivers or others who need to stay alert and focused.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

To run this script, you'll need to have the following installed:

• Python 3.x
• OpenCV (cv2) library for Python
• playsound library for Python

Installing

Python 3.x

You can download Python from the official website: https://www.python.org/downloads/

OpenCV

To install the OpenCV library, you can run the following command:

pip install opencv-python

playsound library

To install the playsound library, you can run the following command: pip install playsound

Running the Script

To run the script, open a terminal or command prompt and navigate to the directory where the script is located. Then, run the following command:
