Live Cursor (outside of main)

I don't have the technical knowledge to develop something like this, but is there a way to have a live cursor (that is not your main mouse cursor) that can be window captured for live streaming. I stream Starcraft 2 (highly competitive real time strategy game) at a professional level to 2500+ viewers and would love if there were a way to show what I was looking at in real time on the screen, without it controlling my cursor.

perhaps drawing a fake cursor (or whatever) where you are looking at.

Don't think there's a turn-key high performance solution available for this (yet).

Certainly doable. Will need some coding to continuously capture what is displayed on screen and then hook up the Eye Tribe API and draw the gaze-coordinates as an overlay on the game.

Fairly straightforward for a professional coder to do if you can settle for low resolution and/or low framerate (gets tricky above 20 fps and 1080p). I guess in this case you'd want to stream the video feed close to real-time as well.. Maybe possible to do with the Twitch API and a semi-transparent overlay?
