MobiGaze

Abstract

Handheld mobile devices that have a touch screen are widely used but are awkward to use with one hand. To solve this problem, we propose MobiGaze, which is a user interface that uses one's gaze (gaze interface) to operate a handheld mobile device. By using stereo cameras, the user's line of sight is detected in 3D, enabling the user to interact with a mobile device by means of his/her gaze. We have constructed a prototype system of MobiGaze that consists of two cameras with IR-LED, a Windows-based notebook PC, and iPod touch. Moreover, we have developed several applications for MobiGaze.
