Abstract
People affected by serious motor disabilities need proper ways to interact with the computer, which is for them an essential communication means. Thanks to recent technological advances in the field of eye tracking, it is now possible to exploit unobtrusive devices to detect the user’s gaze on a screen and employ it to control graphical interfaces. In this paper we present some of the eye tracking projects we have recently developed at the University of Pavia, all aimed at providing the (disabled) user with reliable gaze-driven input modalities.
