Design, Fabrication and Evaluation of an Eye Tracker to Help Disabled People to Communicate with Computer %K Human-computer interaction %K Gaze estimation %K Eye tracking %R 10.22041/ijbme.2011.13195 %X This paper investigates prototyping an online, low-cost, video based and applicable eye tracker, which is called "Dias Eye Tracker". Disabled people can use the proposed system to communicate with computer. What have made the system different from the other low-cost eye trackers, are the accuracy of gaze estimation, the different application parts of the software and the lightweight wireless hardware, which can be mounted on the user’s head. This paper introduces the software/hardware and the methods of the system. In addition, two methods of pupil tracking have been compared together, and an uncertainty analysis on the mapping function of the system has been done. The performance of the designed eye tracker has been evaluated by analyzing the answers to the three questionnaires, which were filled by disabled people after performing three specific tasks. The results show that the system performs well for interaction with computer. %U https://www.ijbme.org/article_13195_9b9d0355a8a9da34b286f74843d15d26.pdf
