An Algorithm for Adjustable Dwell Time in Eye Typing Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
In eye typing systems, a dwell time that adjusts to the user’s natural typing speed is highly desirable. We present an algorithm for adjustable dwell time developed after detailed analysis of exit time upon selection of virtual keys. Exit time was measured using a wide range of dwell times for selection (300-1100 ms). The results suggest that there was a considerable variability in exit time among the users indicating the need for calibration of the algorithm. The algorithm was evaluated in a user study and proved to be efficient. We also discuss the shortcomings of the current algorithm’s implementation.

Usability Evaluation of Dwell-free Eye Typing Techniques
Dwelling is an essential task to be performed to select keys from an on-screen keyboard present in the eye typing interface. This selection task can be performed by fixing eye gaze on a key for a prolonged time. Spending sufficient amount of time on each key effectively decreases the overall eye typing rate. To address the problem, researchers proposed mechanisms, which diminish the dwell time....

Copyright is held by the author/owner(s). CHI’13 Workshop on Grand Challenges in Text Entry, April 28, 2013, Paris, France. Abstract Current eye-typing systems are suffering from the needed dwell timeout which limits the possible entry rate. In this position paper we discuss how the usage of eye-traces on on-screen keyboards could be used for almost dwell timeout free gaze based communication. ...
متن کاملInfluences of dwell time and cursor control on the performance in gaze driven typing
In gaze controlled computer interfaces the dwell time is often used as selection criterion. But this solution comes along with several problems, especially in the temporal domain: Eye movement studies on scene perception could demonstrate that fixations of different durations serve different purposes and should therefore be differentiated. The use of dwell time for selection implies the need to...
متن کاملCommand Without a Click: Dwell Time Typing by Mouse and Gaze Selections
With dwell time activation, completely hands free interaction may be achieved by tracking the user’s gaze positions. The first study presented compares typing by mouse click with dwell time typing on Danish onscreen keyboard with 10 large buttons which change according to character prediction. The second study compares mouse and eye-gaze dwell input on a similar Japanese keyboard, but without d...
متن کاملTyping with Gaze: An Interaction Design Perspective
In this position paper, we discuss some early in-house experiments in designing eye gaze input systems for text entry. We have focused primarily on improving the interface’s feedback for dwell time and selection, using both sound and visual feedback. While carrying out these design experiments, we have become interested in the potential of factors such as Read Text Events (RTE). While these are...
