Abstract

The performance of eye gaze and speech when used as a pointing device was tested using the ISO multi-directional tapping task. Eye gaze and speech were used for target selection as is, as well as with the use of a gravitational well and in conjunction with magnification. These selection methods were then compared to the mouse. The mouse was far superior in terms of performance when selecting targets, although the use of a gravitational well did increase the performance of eye gaze and speech. However, magnification did not improve the use of gaze and speech as a pointing device.
