Gaze-enhanced scrolling techniques

ABSTRACT

We present several gaze-enhanced scrolling techniques developed as part of continuing work in the GUIDe (Gaze-enhanced User Interface Design) project. This effort explores how gaze information can be effectively used as input that augments keyboard and mouse. The techniques presented below use gaze both as a primary input and as an augmented input in order to enhance scrolling and panning techniques. We also introduce the use of off-screen gaze-actuated buttons which can be used for document navigation and control.
