ABSTRACT
Interaction error prevention needs to start from a good understanding of the context of an error. One of the central issues in gaze-interaction research is the suppression of the so-called Midas touch: the interface's incorrect evaluation of user gaze as a purposeful interaction command. We conduct a detailed analysis of numerous instances of these events during interactive problem-solving. By developing and applying an annotation scheme we present a taxonomy of the errors and remedial strategies users employ. We present the nuances, richness and development of the user behavior when dealing with the outcomes of the error, and uncover two major coping strategies. The knowledge will be used to design automatic error-prevention mechanisms for gaze-based interaction.

GAWSCHI: gaze-augmented, wearable-supplemented computer-human interaction
ETRA '16: Proceedings of the Ninth Biennial ACM Symposium on Eye Tracking Research & ApplicationsRecent developments in eye tracking technology are paving the way for gaze-driven interaction as the primary interaction modality. Despite successful efforts, existing solutions to the "Midas Touch" problem have two inherent issues: 1) lower accuracy, ...
Designing for the eye: design parameters for dwell in gaze interaction
OzCHI '12: Proceedings of the 24th Australian Computer-Human Interaction ConferenceEye gaze tracking provides a natural and fast method of interacting with computers. Many click alternatives have been proposed so far, each with their own merits and drawbacks. We focus on the most natural selection method, i.e. the dwell, with which a ...
Gaze and Touch Interaction on Tablets
UIST '16: Proceedings of the 29th Annual Symposium on User Interface Software and TechnologyWe explore how gaze can support touch interaction on tablets. When holding the device, the free thumb is normally limited in reach, but can provide an opportunity for indirect touch input. Here we propose gaze and touch input, where touches redirect to ...
