Gaze tracking in visible spectrum is a widely researched area. Many researches have been carried out up till now combining various methods in different scenarios. Even though the results are quite accurate, most researches either restrict the head movements or does not include the eye movements. This limits the feasibility of application in the gaze tracking domain. In this paper we have extended the head pose estimation and incorporated eye estimation to track gaze by using simple methods and approach. The approach is to estimate gaze from a simple webcam without restricting the head movements. The experimental results suggest that the accuracy is feasible enough in the x plane and needs an additional work to perfect the y plane as the eye movements are less visible here compared to the x plane.
