What does the eye want? An investigation of interface parameters to ensure intuitive gaze-controlled interactions for multidimensional inputs

Abstract

The main research goal is to define relevant design guidelines to implement gaze control interaction in future products. The present work describes the approach for a holistic categorization of design parameters for gaze-controlled control elements. This categorization represents the result of various studies which have been conducted at the adaptive gaze control test bench. The test bench is equipped with a remote eye tracker and a freely adaptable interface to systematically analyze the presentation and influence of defined information content and parameters through HMI. The focus of the current investigation is the gathering of further specifications of embedded design parameters divided in design parameters of the gestalt and the operating characteristic. The present studies provide further conclusions to design parameters of specific continual interaction tasks using gaze control as shown exemplary on a translational gaze-controlled virtual control element.
