WORKING OF THE
EYE GAZE SYSTEM

How can we run

this eye gaze
system?

THE MAIN MENU

The Main Menu appears on the screen as soon
as the user completes a 15-second calibration
procedure.

THE PHRASE PROGRAM

A User
Can:
BE AT TWO SITES!!
BE

A KEYBOARD

SPEAK through a speech synthesizer

CONTROL appliances
DIAL and answer a phone

A Basic Eye gaze

CALIBRATION: Adjust to a new user in about
can:

15

seconds.

TYPEWRITER: Type with one of four keyboards, then

print or speak.
READ TEXT: Turn pages on the computer screen by
looking at "up" or "down".
GAMES: Play games, two "Paddle" games, plus
Solitaire and Slot Machine.
TEACH SCREENS: Teach new users with simplified
screens.

OPERATIONAL
ENVIRONMENT
The Eye gaze System must be
operated in an environment
infrared light.
The System works best away
from windows, and in a room
lit with fluorescent or mercuryvapor lights, which are low in
infrared.

IntelliGaze IG-30
It is a sophisticated system with
a high tracking rate and excellent
working range.
It can accommodate rapid or
involuntary head movements

and calibration methods

ADVANTAGES
It helps the user to generate text on a computer.
Can construct words and sentences that can be
spoken

aloud by the system.

It helps the user to answer/dial a call

It helps the user to operate his environment.
The user can be a keyboard/mouse and operate a
system.

DISADVANTAGES
The high
cost of eye tracking equipment
The limitation that gaze communication
applications may only work with a particular
dedicated eye tracking device
Finally that eye tracking devices are often
hard to use and require experts to operate
them.

APPLICATIO
Neurosciences /Neuropsychology

CONCLUSIO
N
Themainreasonforeye-gazebaseduserinterfaces
being attractive is that the direction of the eye-gaze can
express the interests of the user-it is a potential porthole
into the current cognitive processes-and communication
through the direction of the eyes is faster than any other
modeofhumancommunication.
