Abstract

This paper presents a new input interaction system for people with severe disabilities by combining eye gaze tracking and single switch scanning interaction techniques. The system is faster than only scanning based systems while more comfortable to use than existing eye gaze tracking based systems. We reported results from a couple of user studies that show the new system is equally fast compared to existing eye tracking systems that does not involve scanning, participants with no prior experience with eye tracking based system could learn using this new system successfully within 10 minutes but it demands higher mental effort in comparison to another new modality of interaction- a gesture based system.
