Abstract

The usage of interactive public displays has increased including the number of sensitive applications and, hence, the demand for user authentication methods. In this context, gaze-based authentication was shown to be effective and more secure, but significantly slower than touch- or gesture-based methods. We implement a calibration-free and fast authentication method for situated displays based on saccadic eye movements. In a user study (n = 10), we compare our new method with CueAuth from Khamis et al. (IMWUT’18), an authentication method based on smooth pursuit eye movements. The results show a significant improvement in accuracy from 82.94% to 95.88%. At the same time, we found that the entry speed can be increased enormously with our method, on average, 18.28s down to 5.12s, which is comparable to touch-based input.

GazeCast: Using Mobile Devices to Allow Gaze-based Interaction on Public Displays
ETRA '23: Proceedings of the 2023 Symposium on Eye Tracking Research and Applications

Gaze is promising for natural and spontaneous interaction with public displays, but current gaze-enabled displays require movement-hindering stationary eye trackers or cumbersome head-mounted eye trackers. We propose and evaluate GazeCast – a novel ...
Simple gaze gestures and the closure of the eyes as an interaction technique
ETRA '12: Proceedings of the Symposium on Eye Tracking Research and Applications

We created a set of gaze gestures that utilize the following three elements: simple one-segment gestures, off-screen space, and the closure of the eyes. These gestures are to be used as the moving tool in a gaze-only controlled drawing application. We ...
