Abstract

This work presents a novel approach to eye-tracking systems using eye-glass like apparatus equipped with relatively cheap IrDA sensors and IrDA LEDs connected to a computer. The proposed system produces very low dimensional feature vectors for processing as compared to its competitors that process video data acquired from a digital camera. Consequently, the computational requirements of the proposed system are low. Furthermore, the apparatus is lightweight and can be directly worn. A prototype system is developed in our laboratories and tested to observe its capabilities. Preliminary results show that the approach provides a promising human-computer interface system with plausible accuracy.
