EYE-GAZE

HUMAN COMPUTER INTERFACE

 INTRODUCTION
The EYEGAZE System provides an eye-controlled human
computer interface, allowing people to interact with computers
by pointing with their eyes.

First EYEGAZE System in 1988(LC Technologies)

 Early applications of the eye-gaze system addressed an HCI for

people with severe motor disabilities.

 Simply, by looking at control keys displayed on a computer

screen a disabled user can type , generate synthesized speech,
play games and run DOS compatible off-the-shelf software.
 EYE-TRACKING
• Eye tracking is the process of measuring either the
point of gaze ("where we are looking") or the motion
of an eye relative to the head.

• EYE TRACKERS TYPE

 CONTACT-LENS
 NON-CONTACT LENS
 CONTACT ELECTRODES
 EYEGAZE
SYSTEM CONFIGURATION

Its an video camera located below

the computer screen continually
observes the users eye.
A special image processing software
determines the eye oreintation and
projects the subject gazepoint on
computer.
 METHOD FOR EYEGAZE
• The Eye-gaze system uses the pupilcenter/corneal-
reflection method to determine the eye’s gaze direction.

• The computer calculates the person’s gaze point, i.e the

co ordinates of where on the display he is looking based
on relative position of the person and eye reflection.

• To calibrate, the user fixes his gaze on a sequence of

small circles that the computer displays at specific
locations on the screen.

 EYEGAZE
SYSTEM WORKING
• EYEGAZE SELECTION METHOD.
• The user calls up the program he wants by fixing his
gaze in a box or key next to name the program.
• Here after finished with a program it gives the exit
key and go to main menu

Fig: 3. Main Menu screen

 WORKING OF MAINMENU
WITH PROGRAM
The user operates the Eyegaze edge by looking at rectangular
keys that are displayed on the control screen.

To press a eye-gaze key the user looks at the key for a

specified period of time.

An array of menu keys and exit keys allow the user to

navigate the eyegaze progam independently.
 FEATURES OF THE SYSTEM
• Calibration
 Fully automatic operation
 Consistency checking
• Accuracy
 Accommodating head range variation
 Accommodating pupil diameter variation
 Accommodating glint straddling pupil edge
• Remote Video Tracking
 Unobtrusive with nothing attached to the user
• Reliability
 Robust eye recognition
 Accommodating human eye variations
 EYEGAZE APPLICATIONS
PROGRAMS
• TYPEWRITER PROGRAM
• Simple word processing can be done using the Type
writer program.
• The retrived text may be verbalized,edited or printed.

 THE LIGHTS AND
APPLIANCES PROGRAM
There are a vareity of eye control application available for an
disabiled users.
The typed text can be printed or spoken by the speech
synthesizer.
Telephone program permits phone dailing and answering with
the eyes.

 FUTURE DIRECTIONS

For people with uncontrolled head motion, it needs to

be tolerant to head motion. The accuracy and

calibration objectives have been achieved. A solution

for accommodating head motion is under

development
 HUMAN COMPUTER
INTERACTION ISSUES
Several sources of feed back by incorporated into the
eye-gaze software to help by user in his visual
interaction with the computer.

The cursor identifies the computers gaze point

prediction and moves around the screen as a user
moves his eyes.

A key press delay can be added to give users with

slowed eye movements additional time to move there
gaze of a key with out repeatedly activating it.
 CONCLUSION
Although there are many softwares existing, all of

them cannot be accessed by persons with some

disabilities. In such cases, this technology assists

these softwares so that any person with disabilities

can use them.
