Eye control system development and research of effects of color of icons on visual search performance based on the system

Abstract

Traditional interactive approach which has been developed very mature has evolved from mouse control to many other forms. Eye controlled, as one of new interaction form, will help people with physical disability to manipulate devices as normal users. Meanwhile, because of its natural and high-efficiency, eye controlled system could be the future trend not only for the disabled but also ordinary people. This study proposed an eye controlled system frame to help researchers and designers to explore eye control system interface design because eyes are the only real-time input medium for eye control system. This study firstly analyzes and summarize the difference of eye-control system and traditional interface through surveys and literature reviews. Then according to the uniqueness of eye-controlled interaction, an eye control interactive logic algorithm is developed through the Tobii API combined with the Unity API. Experiments investigated the effects of color combination of icon on visual search performance were done based on the proposed system.
