Eye Typing: IntroductionEye typing simply means producing text by using the point of gaze. There may be several reasons for using eye typing but it is most needed by people with severe disabilities. Control of the eyes may well be the only option for the severely handicapped, thus their need for a communication system is acute. We are developing an eye typing prototype. It will be used to test various techniques and methods for producing text, and especially, for editing text, selecting a chunk of text, srcrolling and fast undo methods. We are also interested in feedback methods that could facilitate eye typing. We think that eye typing provides a rich set of issues for study, both from the practical point of view in order to develop more usable systems, and from the basic research point of view to understand better the properties of gaze communication tasks.
