Perspective and the Use of Eye Tracking in Human-Computer Interaction

Abstract

With the increasing demand for information technology, the traditional human-computer interaction (HCI) mode using keyboard and mouse cannot meet the need, which has inspired the research of multi-channel interface based on new interaction technologies such as eye tracking. The direction of human eye contains the information of current task status, so eye gaze is one of the convenient input channels for HCI. To make eye tracking technology more comprehensive and widely used, it is constantly improved. With the development of eye tracking technology, it has been scientifically explored in HCI to record eye movements. The main purpose of this paper is to summarize the update of eye tracking technology currently used for HCI, summarize the development direction and shortcomings of the current technology, and help new researchers to study various methods and algorithms of eye tracking. This paper will briefly introduce the eye tracking technology, summarizes the current application of eye tracking technology in HCI, and discusses the future direction.
