ABSTRACT
Gaze typing for people with extreme motor disabilities like full body paralysis can be extremely slow and discouraging for daily communication. The most popular technique in gaze typing, known as dwell time typing, is based on fixation on every letter of the word for a fixed amount of time, to type the word. In this preliminary study, the goal was to test a new technique of gaze typing that requires fixating only on the first and the last letter of the word. Analysis of the data collected suggests that the newly described technique is 63% faster than dwell time typing for novices in gaze interaction, without influencing the error rate. Using this technique would have a tremendous impact on communication speed, comfort and working efficiency of people with disabilities.

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 ...
Dwell time reduction technique using Fitts' law for gaze-based target acquisition
ETRA '18: Proceedings of the 2018 ACM Symposium on Eye Tracking Research & ApplicationsWe present a dwell time reduction technique for gaze-based target acquisition. We adopt Fitts' Law to achieve the dwell time reduction. Our technique uses both the eye movement time for target acquisition estimated using Fitts' Law (Te) and the actual ...
