Abstract

Gaze-tracking technologies can enable computer access for users who are unable to use standard input devices. However, using gaze as input poses challenges for interactions that require visual planning, like playing a digital instrument. We explore how multimodality can support eye-controlled musical expression by designing different multi-modal gaze interactions around a digital instrument we call Dueto. We tackle three design goals: creating an instrument that is explorable, easy to learn, and allows feature controllability. We showcase three different multimodal interactions for music playing such as eye gaze only, gaze + switch, and gaze + partner mode.

Eye, Head and Torso Coordination During Gaze Shifts in Virtual Reality

Humans perform gaze shifts naturally through a combination of eye, head and body movements. Although gaze has been long studied as input modality for interaction, this has previously ignored the coordination of the eyes, head and body. This article ...
Improving the accuracy of gaze input for interaction

ETRA '14: Proceedings of the Symposium on Eye Tracking Research and Applications

Compared to the mouse, eye pointing is inaccurate. As a consequence, small objects are difficult to point by gaze alone. We suggest using a combination of eye pointing and subtle head movements to achieve accurate hands-free pointing in a conventional ...
