1. The Potential of Dwell Dwell- -Free Eye Free Eye- -Typing for Fast Assistive Gaze Communication Gaze Communication Typing PO Kristensson and K Vertanen ACM 2012

2. Outline Hands-free typing Traditional dwell-based gaze typing Dasher (adaptive dwell-time) A dwell-free method Brief project update

3. Hands-free typing EEG voice eye

4. Gaze/eye typing Typically keyboard-based Require event demarcation, which is slow: dwell-time (most common) special region special gesture Appear to have approached limit: ~20 wpm Fastest traditional eye-typing method (Majaranta, 2009): allows user to adjust dwell-time 19.8 wpm, 282 ms dwell-time

5. Dasher Adaptive dwell-time No explicit demarcation 16-26 wpm

6. Dasher

7. Dasher Muscle memory impossible

8. potential of dwell-free methods?

9. "Ideal" performance 8 participants (4m, 4f) Tobii P10, 40Hz, 0.5 QWERTY keyboard, 15 x 6 cm 500 phrases, word = 5 chars 5 x 10 min sessions Read phrase, press SPACE, start Must be within 1 key of correct letter before moving on

12. Results 37-54 wpm by last session (mean 46 wpm) counted spaces in wpm (~29-37 wpm w/o) ~50% of the time, participants never went inside actual key

13. To dwell or not to dwell

14. Future work Memorize beforehand Allow missed letters Incorporate error correction

15. Summary Current dwell-based methods seem to have peaked Dwell-free methods could speed up by 2x These speeds not theoretically achievable with dwell-based methods
