EYE GAZE COMMUNICATION by njn

This system is mainly

developed for those who lack

the use of their hands or voice.

Its users are adults and

children with cerebral palsy,

spinal cord injuries, brain

injuries, ALS, multiple

sclerosis, brainstem strokes.

Ability to maintain position

Adequate vision

COGNITION MEMORYABILITY TO

READ

As a user sits in front of

the Eyegaze monitor, a

specialized video camera

mounted below the

monitor observes one of

the user's eyes.

•The Eyegaze System must be

operated in an environment

where there is limited of

infrared light.

•The System works best away

from windows, and in a room

lit with fluorescent or mercury-

vapor lights, which are low in

infrared.

• NYSTAGAMUS(involuntary movement of eye ball)

• ALTERNATING STRABISMUS(eyes cannot directed to same object)

EYE MOVEMENT PROBLEMS

• INADEQUATE VISUAL ACCUITY

• DIPLOPIA(double vision)

• BLURRED VISION

• CATRACTS(clouding of eye lens)

Today, the human eye-gaze can be recorded by relatively

unremarkable techniques. This thesis argues that it is possible

to use the eye-gaze of a computer user in the interface to aid

the control of the application.

Care must be taken, though, that eye-gaze tracking data is

used in a sensible way, since the nature of human eye-

movements is a combination of several voluntary and

involuntary cognitive processes.
