Building Advanced Gaze-Controlled Human-Computer Interfaces

Human eye movements are a very fast, effortless, and intuitive way of 
controlling a computer program. However, not all eye movements are 
control-related and completely under conscious command, which needs to 
be considered for the construction of gaze-controlled interfaces. This 
talk will present novel results of two lines of research that we conduct 
in the Visual Attention Lab in order to improve gaze-controlled 
human-computer interaction: First, the study of eye-hand timing issues, 
and second, the prediction of eye movements driven by visual features in 
the display.
