Systems and methods for gaze-assisted gesture control

A system comprising:

• a capturing module, stored in memory, that captures, by a computing device, a current position of a wearable device and a current position of user eye gaze at a current time;
• a determination module, stored in memory, that determines, by the computing device, that a user eye gaze is at a fixation position based on a speed of gaze movement;
• a direction module, stored in memory, that calculates, by the computing device, a direction of cursor movement by comparing a current cursor position with a previous cursor position at a previous time, wherein a cursor position is determined relative to a position of the wearable device;
• a calculation module, stored in memory, that calculates, by the computing device, a likelihood of the fixation position being a target cursor position based on a difference between the direction of cursor movement and a direction from the current cursor position to the fixation position;
• a movement module, stored in memory, that increases, by the computing device, a speed of cursor movement toward the fixation position based on the likelihood;
• and
• at least one processor that executes the capturing module, the determination module, the direction module, the calculation module, and the movement module.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising one or more computer-executable instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a computing device, cause the computing device to:

• capture a current position of a wearable device and a current position of user eye gaze at a current time;
• determine that a user eye gaze is at a fixation position based on a speed of gaze movement;
• calculate a direction of cursor movement by comparing a current cursor position with a previous cursor position at a previous time, wherein a cursor position is determined relative to a position of the wearable device;
• calculate a likelihood of the fixation position being a target cursor position based on a difference between the direction of cursor movement and a direction from the current cursor position to the fixation position;
• and
• increase a speed of cursor movement toward the fixation position based on the likelihood.
