Abstract :
Nowadays, every home appliance has its own remote control. However this is inefficient since we have to use multiple remote controls even when we just want to turn on/off them. In this paper, we propose a simple and intuitive interface called "a gaze-based universal remote control" based on the gaze measurement technology. The concept of the interface is "what you look at is what you control" which enables you to control multiple appliances using one device such as a mouse connected to the computer. The feasibility of the proposed interface is confirmed through experiments using a prototype system.
