An Implementation of Word Prediction for Gaze Swipe Text Entry

Gaze swipe, one of the text entry methods that do not require physical interaction with a device, involves sequentially tracing the characters of the desired word on a displayed keyboard using the user's gaze. This approach holds the promise of enabling quick word entry. However, previous gaze swipe method presents an issue where the time required for typing increases with longer words, consequently burdening the user. As a solution, there is a demand for an input word prediction method that presents the desired word for typing before the user completes tracing all the characters with their gaze. We have proposed a new gaze swipe typing method incorporating word prediction functionality. We will exhibit an application that implements the proposed method, so that users can experience that the method can be used in actual input and that the proposed method is useful in gaze-based text entry.
