Abstract Gaze based interfaces use eye gaze trackers as input devices. Such devices estimate the position of the user's gaze on the surface of the computer display. When the gaze position is used to control de cursor, pointing at objects of the interface can be done very naturally though the selection of objects ("clicking" with your eyes) becomes a challenge. One of the most used methods for gaze selection, due to its simplicity, is dwell time. The idea is that the user must hold her gaze at an object for a certain dwell time, for selection to occur. When the dwell is long, the interface becomes slow and, when it is too short, then every object can be accidentally activated. This master thesis project proposes to extend the research on context switching as a selection mechanism for gaze based interfaces. This paradigm was recently introduced by our research group, as an alternative solution to the current problems with the dwell time based gaze interfaces. (AU) | |
