Abstract
Method for controlling a combined eye and gesture tracking system (100), wherein the method comprises providing a graphical user interface (102) to a user including a plurality of graphical items (110) displayed on the graphical user interface (102, 300), displaying a graphical pointer (120) on the graphical user interface (102, 310), detecting a user eye gaze (210) associated with the eyes of the user (320), detecting a displacement user gesture (230) associated with a body part of the user (330), and controlling a rate of movement of the graphical pointer (120) on the graphical user interface based on the displacement user gesture (230) and the user eye gaze (210, 340).
Claims15
A method for controlling a combined eye and gesture tracking system (100), wherein the method comprises the following steps:
- providing a graphical user interface (102) to a user including a plurality of graphical items (110) displayed on the graphical user interface (102, 300);
- displaying a graphical pointer (120) on the graphical user interface (102, 310);
- detecting a user eye gaze (210) associated with the eyes of the user (320);
- and
- detecting a displacement user gesture (230) associated with a body part of the user (330);
- and
- controlling a rate of movement of the graphical pointer (120) on the graphical user interface based on the displacement user gesture (230) and the user eye gaze (210, 340).
A combined eye and gesture tracking system comprising:
- at least one camera (101),
- at least one graphical user interface (102)
- a memory (103) configured to store program code,
- at least one processor (104) coupled with the memory (103) and the at least one graphical user interface (102) and configured to execute the program code, wherein execution of the program code causes the at least one processor (104) to perform the following:
- displaying a plurality of graphical items (110) on the graphical user interface (102) to a user (300);
- displaying a graphical pointer (120) on the graphical user interface (102, 310);
- detecting a user eye gaze (210) associated with the eyes of the user (320);
- and
- detecting a displacement user gesture (230) associated with a body part of the user (330);
- and
- controlling a rate of movement of the graphical pointer (120) on the graphical user interface based on the displacement user gesture (230) and the user eye gaze (210, 340).
