Abstract

Navigating source code is at the core of software development, consuming a significant amount of time and effort. Navigation is typically done using the mouse, which in many cases may not be efficient and usable, as it causes context switching and interruptions.

EyeNav brings eye tracking to code editors. It allows for a more natural source code navigation, controlled by the developer's gaze and keyboard shortcuts. It aims to improve usability and efficiency over the mouse on code navigation tasks. EyeNav provides a smoother user experience by letting developers keep their hands on the keyboard at all times. It is a production-ready Brackets.io plugin that allows anyone with an eye tracker to start using it immediately.

Eye detection and coarse localization of pupil for video-based eye tracking systems
Abstract
A video-based eye tracking system generally captures NIR images, each of which contains one or two eyes of a subject. The subject’s point of gaze is then determined using 3D eye model and pupil centre corneal reflection technique. Eye detection ...
