GazeCamera: A Novel Gaze-Controlled UAV Camera

Abstract

The research on gaze-controlled interactive application increases dramatically as human-computer interactions are no longer constrained to traditional input devices such as joysticks, keyboards, touch screens and so on. In this paper, we present GazeCamera a novel framework to control camera mounted on an unmanned aerial vehicle with two degrees-of-freedom through eye-gaze. In the proposed work, eye-gaze is the sole control command for maneuvering the camera in real-space according to the user's eye fixation. The user study results of the pilot research demonstrate that the GazeCamera could be an effortless and intuitive alternative to the other conventional interfaces.
