The proposed research is for a critical improvement to the Eyegaze System, which, through eyetracking, allows people to operate a computer by eye movement while looking at a monitor. The long-term objective is to develop a "headtracker' component for people with motor disabilities whose eyes are difficult to track because they have limited control of head motion. The aim of Phase I is to demonstrate the feasibility of tracking a wide range of erratic head motion, in real time, with a video camera. The methodology will be to write image-processing and video-control algorithms and software, and to demonstrate effective software and hardware operation on a breadboard system. Phase I research will provide the technical basis for the commercial development of an innovative rehabilitation technology. It will lead to a unique, user-friendly system interface, removing any burden on the user for special head positioning. The availability of a headtracker will greatly expand the market for eye-controlled computers, making these systems useful for people with a variety of disabilities resulting from cerebral palsy, high spinal cord injuries, head injuries, strokes, and other neurologic disorders.

拟议的研究是为了对眼睛凝视进行关键性的改进。 该系统通过眼动追踪技术， 通过看显示器时的眼球运动。 长期目标是 开发一个“头部追踪器”组件， 他们的眼睛很难追踪，因为他们对眼睛的控制有限。 头部运动。 第一阶段的目的是证明跟踪一个广泛的 用摄像机在真实的时间内拍摄头部不稳定运动的范围。 的 方法将是写图像处理和视频控制 算法和软件，并展示有效的软件和 实验板系统上的硬件操作。 第一阶段的研究将为商业化提供技术基础。 创新的康复技术。 就会导致 一个独特的，用户友好的系统界面，消除了用户的任何负担 用于特殊的头部定位。 头部追踪器的可用性将 大大扩展了眼控电脑的市场， 对各种残疾人有用的系统， 脑瘫、高位脊髓损伤、头部损伤、中风， 其他神经系统疾病。
