Exploring Potential Gestures for Controlling an Eye-Tracker Based System

Abstract

Body gestures could be used as an intuitive interaction method with computerized systems. Previous studies explored gesture-based interaction mostly with digital displays, thus there is no standard set of gestures for a system that lacks a display. In this work we conducted a pilot study to explore the potential of using gestures to control an eye tracker based mobile museum visitors’ guide. Our objective was to identify a user-defined set of gestures for controlling the mobile guide. In this work we present the preliminary results of the experiment and discuss the participants’ suggestions and concerns for using this type of interaction.
