Current Status of Gaze Control Research and Technology Literature Review

[摘要] Gaze control can take different forms throughout Majaranta and Bulling's (2014) explicit-implicit continuum. Specifically, it can range from explicit eye command input and control to passive eye monitoring diagnostic applications. Gaze control can also be used either as a stand-alone control modality or as part of a larger multi-modal interface. In fact, employing eye tracking and eye movements in control input user interfaces in aviation, and emulating the naturally occurring modality communication and cooperation patterns in the design of multimodal interfaces, are not new. The advantages of using gaze control as part of a larger multimodal interface include intuitiveness, mimicking natural behavior, and reduction of uncertainty in interpreting user intent. The current level of gaze control technology is at a point where it is viable for research in a flight deck environment.
