Eye-Gaze Technology
Eye-Gaze technology is an advanced communication and control system that allows individuals to interact with devices using their eye movements. This technology typically involves a camera or sensor that tracks the user’s eye movements and translates them into commands or selections on a screen. It is particularly beneficial for individuals with physical disabilities or conditions that limit their ability to use traditional input methods like keyboards or touchscreens.

Eye-Gaze technology is used in various applications, including:

  • Communication: It enables individuals to communicate by selecting letters, words, or phrases on a screen, which can then be converted into speech using text-to-speech software.
  • Computer Access: Users can control computers, tablets, and smartphones, allowing them to browse the internet, send emails, and perform other tasks independently.
  • Environmental Control: Eye-Gaze systems can be integrated with smart home devices, allowing users to control lights, thermostats, and other appliances with their eye movements.
