Abstract

We present eyeCan, a software system that promises rich, sophisticated, and still usable gaze interactions with low-cost gaze tracking setups. The creation of this practical system was to drastically lower the hurdle of gaze interaction by presenting easy-to-use gaze gestures, and by reducing the cost-of-entry with the utilization of low precision gaze trackers. Our system effectively compensates for the noise from tracking sensors and involuntary eye movements, boosting both the precision and speed in cursor control. Also the possible variety of gaze gestures was explored and defined. By combining eyelid actions and gaze direction cues, our system provides rich set of gaze events and therefore enables the use of sophisticated applications e.g. playing video games or navigating street view.

Vibrotactile stimulation of the head enables faster gaze gestures

Gaze gestures are a promising input technology for wearable devices especially in the smart glasses form factor because gaze gesturing is unobtrusive and leaves the hands free for other tasks. We were interested in how gaze gestures can be enhanced with ...
Interacting with objects in the environment using gaze tracking glasses and speech
OzCHI '14: Proceedings of the 26th Australian Computer-Human Interaction Conference on Designing Futures: the Future of Design

This work explores the combination of gaze and speech to interact with objects in the environment. A head-mounted wireless gaze tracker in the form of gaze tracking glasses is used for mobile monitoring of a subject's point of regard on the surrounding ...
Pointing by gaze, head, and foot in a head-mounted display
ETRA '19: Proceedings of the 11th ACM Symposium on Eye Tracking Research & Applications

This paper presents a Fitts' law experiment and a clinical case study performed with a head-mounted display (HMD). The experiment compared gaze, foot, and head pointing. With the equipment setup we used, gaze was slower than the other pointing methods, ...
