Gaze vs. Mouse: A Fast and Accurate Gaze-Only Click Alternative
summary
Actigaze is a gaze-only click method that maps small UI targets to fixed, color-coded confirm buttons and uses short dwells to avoid Midas Touch. Targets color after ~80 ms, users flick gaze to a peripheral confirm button and hold for 200 ms dwell to trigger a click. A 25‑participant Wikipedia task with 30 timed trials shows dynamic coloring at ~1–2 s per click and steady coloring near 1 s, accuracy approaching mouse and far faster than prior multiple‑confirm approaches. The system assigns colors to maximize minimal same‑color distance to reduce misclicks.
