LIST NAVIGATION WITH EYE TRACKING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18340612 titled 'LIST NAVIGATION WITH EYE TRACKING

Simplified Explanation

The described techniques allow for displaying a group of positions on a screen, with some positions empty and others filled with a subset of list elements. The filled positions include an adjacent position next to the empty ones.

  • Movement of a gaze point can be tracked relative to the filled positions and around a central location towards the empty positions.
  • The empty positions can be filled with list elements, and the adjacent position can be emptied to display a different subset of list elements.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • User interfaces for touchless devices or eye-tracking systems.
  • Displaying and navigating through lists or menus.
  • Virtual reality or augmented reality experiences.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Facilitates efficient and intuitive navigation through lists or menus.
  • Enables touchless interaction with devices, reducing the need for physical input methods.
  • Enhances accessibility for individuals with limited mobility or dexterity.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved user experience by providing a natural and intuitive way to navigate through content.
  • Increased accessibility for individuals with disabilities.
  • Enables new interaction possibilities in touchless or eye-tracking systems.


Original Abstract Submitted

Described techniques enable displaying a plurality of positions arranged around a central location on a display, the plurality of positions including at least one empty position and filled positions displaying a first subset of list elements, the filled positions including an adjacent position that is adjacent to the at least one empty position. Movement of a gaze point may be tracked, relative to the filled positions and around the central location towards the at least one empty position. The at least one empty position may be filled with a list element of the list elements, and the adjacent position may be emptied to thereby display a second subset of the list elements.
