 ABSTRACT

As smartphones evolve researchers are studying new techniques to ease the

human-mobile interaction. We propose Eye Phone, a novel “hand-free”
interfacing system capable of driving mobile applications/functions using only
the user’s eyes movement and actions (e.g., wink).

Eye Phone tracks the user’s eye movement across the phone’s display using
the camera mounted on the front of the phone; more specifically, machine
learning algorithms are used to: i) track the eye and infer its position on the
mobile phone display as a user views a particular application; and ii) detect
eye blinks that emulate mouse clicks to activate the target application under
view. We present a prototype implementation of Eye Phone on a Nokia N810,
which is capable of tracking the position of the eye on the display, mapping
this positions to an ap-plication that is activated by a wink. At no time does the
user have to physically touch the phone display.
