Controlling Mouse through Eyes

Abstract

User-computer dialogues are typically one-sided, with the benefits from computer to user far greater than that from user to computer. The movement of a user's eyes can provide a convenient, natural, and high-bandwidth source of additional user input, to help redress this one-sidedness. We, therefore investigate the introduction of eye movements as a computer input medium. Our emphasis is on the study of interaction techniques that incorporate eye movements into the user-computer dialogue. In this paper, an advanced approach to man machine interaction is proposed, in which computer vision techniques are used for interpreting user actions.
