Gaze Interaction
Also known as: Gaze-Based Interaction, Gaze Input, Eye Gaze Control
Gaze interaction is a method of controlling computers and devices by tracking where a person is looking on the screen. Using eye-tracking technology, the system detects the user's point of gaze and translates it into cursor movement or selection actions, often combined with dwell time (looking at a target for a set duration) or a secondary input like a blink or switch press to confirm selections. Gaze interaction is a critical assistive technology for people with severe motor impairments who cannot use traditional input devices, enabling them to communicate, browse the web, and control their environment.
