AmbiGaze: Direct control of ambient devices by gaze
Proceedings of the 2016 ACM conference on designing interactive systems, 2016•dl.acm.org
Eye tracking offers many opportunities for direct device control in smart environments, but
issues such as the need for calibration and the Midas touch problem make it impractical. In
this paper, we propose AmbiGaze, a smart environment that employs the animation of
targets to provide users with direct control of devices by gaze only through smooth pursuit
tracking. We propose a design space of means of exposing functionality through movement
and illustrate the concept through four prototypes. We evaluated the system in a user study …

Eye tracking offers many opportunities for direct device control in smart environments, but issues such as the need for calibration and the Midas touch problem make it impractical. In this paper, we propose AmbiGaze, a smart environment that employs the animation of targets to provide users with direct control of devices by gaze only through smooth pursuit tracking. We propose a design space of means of exposing functionality through movement and illustrate the concept through four prototypes. We evaluated the system in a user study and found that AmbiGaze enables robust gaze-only interaction with many devices, from multiple positions in the environment, in a spontaneous and comfortable manner.
