SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR GAZE-ASSISTED GESTURE CONTROL

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240256031 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR GAZE-ASSISTED GESTURE CONTROL

Original Abstract Submitted

the disclosed computer-implemented method may include capturing, by a computing device, a current position of a wearable device and a current position of user eye gaze at a current time. the method may also include determining that a user eye gaze is at a fixation position based on a speed of gaze movement. additionally, the method may include calculating a direction of cursor movement by comparing a current cursor position with a previous cursor position at a previous time. furthermore, the method may include calculating a likelihood of the fixation position being a target cursor position based on a difference between the direction of cursor movement and a direction from the current cursor position to the fixation position. finally, the method may include increasing a speed of cursor movement toward the fixation position based on the likelihood. various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
