Abstract:
Methods and systems to facilitate eye tracking control on mobile devices are provided. An image of a portion of a user is received at an eye tracking device, where the image includes reflections caused by light emitted on the user from one or more light sources located within the eye tracking device. One or more eye features associated with an eye of the user is detected using the reflections. Point of regard information is determined using the one or more eye features, where the point of regard information indicates a location on a display of a computing device coupled to the eye tracking device at which the user was looking when the image of the portion of the user was taken. The point of regard information is sent to an application capable of performing a subsequent operation using the point of regard information.
