To date, several eye input methods have been developed, which, however, are usually designed for specific purposes (e.g. typing) and require dedicated graphical interfaces. In this paper we present Eye-S, a system that allows general input to be provided to the com-puter through a pure eye-based approach. Thanks to the “eye graffiti” communication style adopted, the technique can be used both for writing and for generating other kinds of commands. In Eye-S, letters and general eye gestures are created through se-quences of fixations on nine areas of the screen, which we call hotspots. Being usually not visible, such sensitive regions do not interfere with other applications, that can therefore exploit all the available display space.

Abstract
To date, several eye input methods have been developed, which, however, are usually designed for specific purposes (e.g. typing) and require dedicated graphical interfaces. In this paper we present Eye-S, a system that allows general input to be provided to the com-puter through a pure eye-based approach. Thanks to the “eye graffiti” communication style adopted, the technique can be used both for writing and for generating other kinds of commands. In Eye-S, letters and general eye gestures are created through se-quences of fixations on nine areas of the screen, which we call hotspots. Being usually not visible, such sensitive regions do not interfere with other applications, that can therefore exploit all the available display space.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
