GazePointer: A real time mouse pointer control implementation based on eye gaze tracking

The field of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) has witnessed a tremendous growth in the past decade. The advent of tablet PCs and cell phones allowing touch-based control has been hailed warmly. The researchers in this field have also explored the potential of ‘eye-gaze’ as a possible means of interaction. Some commercial solutions have already been launched, but they are as yet expensive and offer limited usability. This paper strives to present a low cost real time system for eye-gaze based human-computer interaction.
