Abstract
The systems and methods described herein assist persons with the use of computers based on eye gaze, and allow such persons to control such computing systems using various eye trackers. The systems and methods described herein use eye trackers to control cursor (or some other indicator) positioning on an operating system using the gaze location reported by the eye tracker. The systems and methods described herein utilize an interaction model that allows control of a computer using eye gaze and dwell. The data from eye trackers provides a gaze location on the screen. The systems and methods described herein control a graphical user interface that is part of an operating system relative to cursor positioning and associated actions such as Left-Click, Right-Click, Double-Click, and the like. The interaction model presents appropriate user interfaces to navigate the user through applications on the computing system.
