Microsoft patents typing technology using gaze

Microsoft is developing innovative Eye-Gaze technology that could change the way users interact with applications through eye movements. Microsoft's recently filed patent application demonstrates the technology's latest advancements in accessibility and user experience.

Here's What We Know

Eye-Gaze technology will allow you to type using only your eyes. The patented Eye-Gaze system uses a lag-free input method, where the user only needs to look at the keys on the screen to type. It also allows users to interact with different applications by simply focusing their gaze on them, allowing them to click buttons in web browsers without any physical interaction.

Microsoft has introduced a smooth response system called "dwell-free" to eliminate the problems associated with eye flicker and uneven gaze recordings. This helps solve the problem of not pinpointing exactly where a person is looking at. It also doesn't require someone to look at an object for too long, which improves usability and reduces eye strain.
