Multi-modal Interactions for Inconspicuous Mobile Eye-Tracking

Multi-modal interactions have long been explored as a way to improve user experience. With the development of mobile eye-tracking technology, the advantages of using multiple input modes can be applied to mobile eye-tracking applications. The paper introduces a platform for development of mobile eye tracking called Ogle; along with a key feature it possesses the ability to develop multimodal inconspicuous applications. Similarly this paper explores the advantages of using multi-modal interactions with mobile eye-tracking technology through development of two early-stage applications. By using both gaze and audio as input the complexity of the inconspicuous system could be increased without sacrificing user experience.
