ABSTRACT
This paper presents a low-cost gaze tracking system that is based on a webcam mounted close to the user's eye. The performance of the gaze tracker was evaluated in an eye-typing task using two different typing applications. Participants could type between 3.56 and 6.78 words per minute, depending on the typing system used. A pilot study to assess the usability of the system was also carried out in the home of a user with severe motor impairments. The user successfully typed on a wall-projected interface using his eye movements.

Low-cost gaze interaction: ready to deliver the promises
CHI EA '09: CHI '09 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing SystemsEye movements are the only means of communication for some severely disabled people. However, the high prices of commercial eye tracking systems limit the access to this technology. In this pilot study we compare the performance of a low-cost, webcam-...
Evaluation of a remote webcam-based eye tracker
NGCA '11: Proceedings of the 1st Conference on Novel Gaze-Controlled ApplicationsIn this paper we assess the performance of an open-source gaze tracker in a remote (i.e. table-mounted) setup, and compare it with two other commercial eye trackers. An experiment with 5 subjects showed the open-source eye tracker to have a ...
An open-source low-cost eye-tracking system for portable real-time and offline tracking
NGCA '11: Proceedings of the 1st Conference on Novel Gaze-Controlled ApplicationsOpen-source eye trackers have the potential to bring gaze-controlled applications to a wider audience or even the mass market due to their low cost, and their flexibility and tracking quality are continuously improving. We here present a new portable ...
