About
SensePilot, a startup company based in Vilnius, Lithuania, developed software that uses standard webcams for real-time head tracking and facial gesture and speech detection. The software enables users to operate computers and play video games entirely hands-free (though can also be used with joysticks and switches) without any additional or complex hardware. Launched after a hackathon event in May 2024, it was launched publicly in May 2025, and its user base quickly grew from 80 beta testers to about 200.
