Abstract
Methods, systems, and techniques for controlling actuators by using eye gaze technology such as in a wheelchair or bed, are provided. Example embodiments provide an Eye Gaze Actuator Control System ('EGACS') which enables people with advanced motor neuron diseases or disabilities like amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or muscular dystrophy to use eye gaze technologies to control their actuators that control seating, bed positioning, and movement of motor-controlled devices. In one embodiment, the example EGACS comprises a display device, eye gaze sensor, eye gaze control application, and device interface(s) to one or more other devices that control aspects of a powered wheelchair, bed, vehicle, or other device. These components cooperate to control the powered wheelchair, bed, or vehicle using eye gaze technology as opposed to by manual control.
