Gaze-based Assistive Technologies

چکیده
The eyes play an important role both in perception and communication. Technical interfaces that make use of their versatility can bring significant improvements to those, who are unable to speak or to handle selection tasks elsewise, e.g. with their hands, feet, noses or tools handled with the mouth. Using the eyes to enter texts into a computer system, which is called gaze-typing, is the most prominent gaze-based assistive technology. The article reviews the principles of eye movements, presents an overview of current eye-tracking systems and discusses several approaches to gaze-typing. With the recent advent of mobile eye-tracking systems, gaze-based assistive technology is no longer restricted to interactions with desktopcomputers. Gaze-based assistive technology is ready to expand its application into other areas of everyday life. The second part of the article thus discusses the use of gaze-based assistive technology in the household or “the wild”, outside one’s own four walls.

متن کاملDesign of a Virtual Reality Based Adaptive Response Technology for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder
Impairments in social communication skills are thought to be core deficits in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). In recent years, several assistive technologies, particularly Virtual Reality (VR), have been investigated to promote social interactions in this population. It is well-known that these children demonstrate atypical viewing patterns during social interactions and thus moni...
