Development of Gaze Interaction Tools for Edutainment and Text Editing Applications
This project aims to develop a suite of tools for gaze interaction, focusing on eye-typing systems, editing tools, and gaze-controlled edutainment applications. Key tasks include creating common design guidelines, programming interfaces, and gaze-aware widgets for basic text editing functions. Notable deliverables include design specifications and prototypes of these tools. Current status indicates the availability of gaze typing systems and some edutainment tools. Collaboration is encouraged through sharing existing systems and commercial products.
