The next tracking technology that completely fails on me. Tracking mouse movements is already totally helpless when it comes to blind users. But tracking my eye pupils is even more useless. I just hope nobody will ever impelment CAPTCHA based on this. It is already hard enough (and sometimes impossible) to proove that I am human.
I was thinking of using something like this that would track my pupils and then switch window focus i.e. allowing me to switch from terminal to terminal without doing Alt-Tab.
Yes, probably the height of laziness to avoid pressing Alt-Tab but its interesting to me.
Edit: Its possible that i am mistaken and what I would need for that is more gaze-tracking than pupil-tracking.
The interface in vr for elite:dangerous works like this, it does gaze tracking of sorts (tracking the headset) and pops up context menues (weapon systems, radio/communication, navigation etc). It works really well imnho. Otoh the interface is similar in regular 2d, but feels clunky and gimmicky there.
That sounds interesting. I will take a look at it. Honestly, I haven't done any study or reading on this topic so have essentially zero idea of how it might work, especially when using a webcam.
This sounds extremely interesting, I guess you could infer the direction you're looking at even with pupil-tracking instead of gaze-tracking, considering you'll move both eyes to look at a specific spot.
