Eye Tracking Applications

Abstract

As computer applications keep growing in complexity, human-computer interaction must keep the pace accordingly. Being the most important human sense, eye sight is considered a powerful new solution for enhancing communication with computers. Recent progress in eye tracking research outlines several applicability opportunities in the fields of virtual environment, augmented reality, computer navigation, internet usability tests and psychological evaluation. Sound recognition modules, haptic input devices and eye movements’ information shape together a set of powerful tools for enabling natural interaction within immersive virtual environments. This paper is a review of existing eye tracking applications in the field of virtual reality and human-computer interaction.
