EyeTalk®
EyeTalk® is a software technology that
integrates voice recognition and eye-tracking to control a computer interface
without using the hands.
Eye-tracking,
to compute the user's point-of-gaze on a computer screen, is helpful in
determining the object of interest such as a file or program. Voice commands
provide additional context about what the user wishes to accomplish. For
example, by visually acquiring a program icon, and then uttering "open" or
"start," the user can convey his/her intent to start a particular program. If
this were to be accomplished by voice alone, it would be necessary to utter a
very specific command, such as "open the word processing program." Not
only is such a command relatively difficult to remember, it may tax the speech
recognition program's ability to reliably parse the user's command. Combining
eye and voice simplifies the task of inferring a user's intent to accomplish
his/her goal.
FEATURES
- Eye
point-of-gaze input controls movement of the cursor
- Voice
recognition parses command verbalizations
- Speech
and eye gaze are temporally associated to infer user intent and execute
desired commands (see "Principles and Guidelines for the Design of Eye Voice Interaction Dialogs")
- An
easy to use vocabulary definition tool allows the user to map verbal commands to specific
graphical user interface actions (e.g., Page Up, Left Click, Open)
- Works with any eye-tracker that is capable of
outputting point-of-gaze data over a serial port
