Abstract

In order to broaden the applicability of an eye-tracking based assistive technology the available environmental control systems are reviewed. Their advantages and limitations are discussed with respect to their usage with eye tracking technology for aiding people with special needs. It is concluded that each system has its own distinct advantages for this task, linked also to their availability, ease of use and cost. Consequently a modular design approach is advocated for eye tracking control technologies in this domain to make them as generically applicable as possible.
