v2.0.0 - Precision Gaze & Caregiver Lifeline
We release v2.0.0, moving Iris from a local eye-tracking prototype to a highly accessible communication utility with a real-world emergency lifeline!
Here are the major highlights in this release:
📞 Caregiver Twilio SMS Integration
- Emergency Lifeline: Integrated the official Twilio SDK and built a secure Next.js API endpoint (
/api/twilio). - Instant Alerts: Triggering the Emergency block via eye tracker now instantly fires a real-world SMS alert directly to a caregiver's phone.
👁️ High-Visibility Gaze Cursor & Centered UI
- Bolder Cursor: Upgraded the gaze cursor to be 50% larger with a vibrant red crosshair (
#ff0000) and a solid black background ring, making tracking a breeze. - Layout Optimization: Swapped default grid block positions so Yes and No sit comfortably centered on the primary row for faster access.
🤖 Local AI Persona & Reliability Fixes
- Hallucination Bypass: Added a hardcode bypass for simple "Yes" and "No" triggers so they generate instantly without LLM hallucination.
- Natural Human Prompting: Reworked the underlying WebLLM system prompt to bypass medical safety triggers. The local 1B model now speaks with a natural, helpful first-person human voice instead of saying "I am a robot".
🧼 UI & Visual Cleanups
- Neobrutalist Styling: Upgraded the legacy top toolbar buttons (Debug and Recenter) to match the bold Neobrutalist borders and hard shadows.
- Mockup Removal: Removed old static mockup overlays (like the static CPU/FACE chips) to make sure only live, active indicators are displayed.
