InSight: a systematic approach to create dynamic human-controller-interactions

Abstract

We present InSight, an intuitive technique to control smart objects with existing input devices in the environment, while simply looking at them. By leveraging the user's line of sight as a heuristic of gaze and attention, the InSight system directs input focus from input devices to the device that the user is looking at, thus creating an intuitive metaphor: you control the object you are looking at. In this paper, we contribute with technical details of the hardware and software implementation, and a discussion of single user and multi-user interaction possibilities.
