Eye-gaze User Interactions Performances for Mainstream Information and Communication Technology Devices

U ovom radu objašnjena je izrada programskog rješenja za praćenje i upravljanje pogledom za web-kamere. Razvijeno programsko rješenje koristi koncept upravljanja pogledom koji detektira prisutnost pogleda na područjima koja se nalaze izvan zaslona. Zadržavanje pogleda u odabranom području rezultira simulacijom pritiska tipke na tipkovnici. Navedena područja nalaze se blizu granice vidnog polja, što znači da je potrebno uložiti određeni napor i svjesno gledati u odabrano područje bez rotacije glave. Predloženi koncept upravljanja pogledom nije intuitivan s obzirom na konvencionalne načine interakcije, što znači da je programsko rješenje bilo potrebno testirati s ispitnom skupinom korisnika koja prethodno nije bila upoznata s programskim rješenjem.This thesis describes the implementation of gaze detection and gaze tracking for webcams, but also presents several different ways of using gaze as an input. The developed software solution introduces an innovative concept where user has to look at different areas near the very end of their field of view. After looking at a certain area for a certain amount of time, a simulated keypress is sent to the computer. These areas are located near the very edge of user's field of view which means that a deliberate effort is required to look at those areas. User's head should not rotate during the process. This concept is not intuitive considering usual user interactions, which means that the developed software solution had to be tested with a test group of users that were previously not familiar with it
