Eye-GUIDE (Eye-Gaze User Interface Design) Messaging for Physically-Impaired People
This addresses communication challenges for paralyzed or physically impaired people, but it appears incremental as it builds on existing gaze tracking methods.
The authors tackled the problem of enabling communication for paralyzed or physically impaired individuals by developing Eye-GUIDE, a camera-based gaze tracking system that interprets eye movements to perform simple tasks through a graphical user interface, but no concrete performance numbers are provided.
Eye-GUIDE is an assistive communication tool designed for the paralyzed or physically impaired people who were unable to move parts of their bodies especially people whose communications are limited only to eye movements. The prototype consists of a camera and a computer. Camera captures images then it will be send to the computer, where the computer will be the one to interpret the data. Thus, Eye-GUIDE focuses on camera-based gaze tracking. The proponent designed the prototype to perform simple tasks and provides graphical user interface in order the paralyzed or physically impaired person can easily use it.
