Abstract
Real time face detection combined with eyegaze
tracking can provide a means of user input into a gaming
environment. Game and CE system designers can use facial
and eye-gaze information in various ways to enhance UI
design providing smarter modes of gameplay interaction and
UI modalities that are sensitive to a users behaviors and
mood. Here we review earlier approaches, using wearable
sensors, or enhanced IR illumination. Our technique only
requires video feed from a low-resolution user-facing camera.
The algorithm is described and some comparative results on a
range of embedded hardware are provided. The potential for
using eye-gaze as a means of direct user input and improving
the accuracy of estimation accordingly is also discussed.
