TouchEye

About

The Technology:   TouchEye is: •    Twice as fast as other gaze-based click alternatives under testing, even for novice users. •    Frequent use increases performance, approaching that of the mouse.  •    Does not cause inadvertent clicks, as they occur in other gaze-based click alternatives. •    Minimizes visual and cognitive distractions. •    Allows for consistent screen content - removes the need for overlapping content which competes for viewer attention (e.g. radial menus). •    Does not change screen content as magnification techniques do (e.g. fish-eye lens). •    Based on natural gaze movement (other gaze-based click alternatives require artificial eye control such as dwelling, blinking or gestures, which are tiring and not preferred by users). •    Minimises hand movement and is likely to reduce the occurrence of repetitive strain injuries (RSI).   Background: Auckland UniServices Limited is the largest research and development company of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere and a wholly owned company of The University of Auckland.
