Eye-GUIDE (Eye-Gaze User Interface Design) Messaging for Physically-Impaired People

TL;DR

Eye-GUIDE is a camera-based gaze tracking system designed to assist physically impaired individuals in communication by interpreting eye movements through a user-friendly interface.

Contribution

This paper introduces a novel eye-gaze interface prototype that enables communication for paralyzed or physically impaired users using camera-based gaze tracking.

Findings

Prototype successfully interprets eye movements for communication

User interface is designed for ease of use by physically impaired users

System demonstrates potential for assistive communication applications

Abstract

Eye-GUIDE is an assistive communication tool designed for the paralyzed or physically impaired people who were unable to move parts of their bodies especially people whose communications are limited only to eye movements. The prototype consists of a camera and a computer. Camera captures images then it will be send to the computer, where the computer will be the one to interpret the data. Thus, Eye-GUIDE focuses on camera-based gaze tracking. The proponent designed the prototype to perform simple tasks and provides graphical user interface in order the paralyzed or physically impaired person can easily use it.
