Eyelid gestures for people with motor impairments

Although eye-based interactions can be beneficial for people with motor impairments, they often rely on clunky or specialized equipment (e.g., stationary eye-trackers) and focus primarily gaze blinks. However, two eyelids open close in different orders duration to form rich eyelid gestures. We take a first step design, detect, evaluate set of gestures impairments mobile devices. present an algorithm detect nine smartphones real time it 12 able-bodied 4 severe studies. The results the study motor-impairments show that .76 .69 overall accuracy user-dependent user-independent evaluations. Furthermore, we design gesture mapping scheme navigate applications only using Finally, discuss considerations designing impairments.
