Abstract

Human eye gaze is a strong candidate to create a new application area based on human-computer interaction. To implement a really practical gaze-based interaction system, gaze detection must be realized without placing any restriction on the user's behavior or comfort. This paper describes a gaze tracking system that offers freehead, simple personal calibration. It does not require the user wear anything on her head, and she can move her head freely. Personal calibration takes only a very short time; the user is asked to look at two markers on the screen. An experiment shows that the accuracy of the implemented system is about 1.0 degrees (view angle).
