Developer builds head-pose tracking to fix multi-monitor focus on macOS

A developer has created an open-source tool for macOS that uses computer vision and head pose tracking to move window focus and the cursor between monitors. The tool addresses the common annoyance of typing into the wrong screen when working with multiple monitors. Built in Swift, it has drawn attention in software and development communities for its practical, inclusive approach to a everyday desk-setup problem.
Why now: It offers a clever, relatable solution to the widespread annoyance of losing track of keyboard focus across multiple monitors.
