| description | Patients who suffer from locked-in syndrome lose their ability to communicate via speech.
Often, they rely on alternative methods for communication, yet these methods can be
cumbersome and require significant assistance.
In this project, we aim to develop a user-friendly communication system using a virtual
keyboard via eye-gaze input. By leveraging on Tobii eye tracking technology, the system
offers an intuitive interface and reduces the reliance on caregiver assistance for setup and
maintenance. Through experimental evaluation, we investigate the effectiveness of different
keyboard layouts for our system and revealed that the familiarity with the QWERTY
keyboard layout significantly influenced performance.
The results demonstrate the effectiveness of the eye-gaze input method in facilitating
communication for paralysed patients, contributing to improved quality of life and autonomy. |
