ABSTRACT
Two eye typing techniques and a fixation algorithm are described. Similar to word prediction, letter prediction chooses three highly probable next letters and highlights them on an onscreen keyboard. Letter prediction proved promising, as it was as good as word prediction, and in some cases better. The fixation algorithm chooses which button to select for eye-over highlighting. It often chooses the desired button even if another button is closer to the fixation location. Error rates were reduced when using the fixation algorithm combined with letter prediction; however, the algorithm was sensitive to the correctness of the first several letters in a word.

Eye typing of Chinese characters
ETRA '12: Proceedings of the Symposium on Eye Tracking Research and ApplicationsEye typing is one of the most intensively investigated topics in eye tracking technology. Currently, almost all eye typing systems are developed for English typing. Some preliminary studies have been made on developing eye typing systems for inputting ...
Design and evaluation of a dwell-free eye typing technique
CHI EA '14: CHI '14 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing SystemsDwelling, activated through gaze fixation for a prolonged time, is an essential task to be performed to select keys from on-screen keyboard present in the eye typing interface. Normally fixation on a key takes sufficient time which slows down eye typing ...
An exploratory study of eye typing fundamentals: dwell time, text entry rate, errors, and workload
CHI '12: Proceedings of the SIGCHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing SystemsAlthough eye typing (typing on an on-screen keyboard via one's eyes as they are tracked by an eye tracker) has been studied for more than three decades now, we still know relatively little about it from the users' point of view. Standard metrics such as ...
