Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Systems and methods are provided for altering the position or visual appearance of a movable indicator in a GUI that is controlled by eye tracking to counteract a perceptual fading of the movable indicator with respect to the GUI. The position of the user's point of gaze may be tracked, the movable indicator may be rendering at a position associated with the user's point of gaze, and the position or visual appearance of the movable indicator may be altered when an event, such as a passage of time or a blinking of the user's eyes, is detected.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method comprising: tracking a point of gaze on a display of a graphical user interface (GUI) using an eye tracking apparatus; rendering a movable indicator at a gaze position associated with the point of gaze within the GUI; detecting that the point of gaze has been fixed at a region of interest for a specified amount of time that corresponds to an amount of time during which perceptual fading of the moveable indicator is estimated to have occurred; an…
