Abstract: A tool for detecting potential unintentional user input by verifying a user selection based on the location of the user s gaze and the location of the user selection and combining these input sources to validate the selection. Eye tracking technology is used to keep a record of where on a display a user is looking or if the user is even looking at the display, where the display may be a connected external monitor or an incorporated display screen such as used in tablet computers and smart phones. When input, such as a mouse selection with a cursor or pointer or a tap on a touch screen with a finger is received, the location of the selection is compared to a location of the user's gaze around when the selection was made. If the gaze location is outside of an acceptable range from the selection location, it is determined that the selection may have been in error and the selection is disregarded or a confirmation is requested of the user.
