A Gaze-Based Web Browser with Multiple Methods for Link Selection

We have developed a gaze-driven web browser that, besides providing basic web surfing functionalities, offers five different methods for link selection, namely Menu, Discrete Cursor, Progressive Zoom, Quick Zoom, and Free Pointing. While these methods are not completely new, as they have already been used either for web surfing or for general gaze interaction, they have never been integrated into a single browser.

This multi-approach solution for link selection not only allows users to choose the methods they like more, but it also allows them to select the most suitable approach depending on the specific kind of link (e.g., textual link, image link, link in a list, etc.).

The project has been presented at the COGAIN Symposium 2020 (COmmunication by GAze INteraction), within ETRA 2020 (ACM Symposium on Eye Tracking Research & Applications):

The browser, with its source code, can be downloaded from a GitHub repository.
Please notice that, at the moment, the use of the Tobii EyeX or 4C eye trackers is mandatory.
