Eye-Gaze Estimation Systems for Multi-Applications: An Implementation of Approach Based on Laptop Webcam

Abstract

Eye-gaze is the mirror of speech, the language of nonverbal communication. The research investigations in eye-gaze estimation systems may reveal what persons think about on the basis of where they are looking. Nowadays, the eye-gaze estimation systems represent a combination of appropriate hardware and related software for estimating the eye-gaze directions to provide new domains of applications. The purpose of this paper is to provide an inclusive expansion in the recently existing applications based on the eye-gaze estimation systems by considering different applications; driver assistance systems, Smartphone as an input mechanism, controlling smart homes/TV, virtual space and entertainment, medicine, human robot interaction, sports, security, and authentication. Additionally, an implementation of an accurate, reliable and a low cost eye-gaze estimation approach based on Laptop Webcam is presented. This paper contains the main preliminaries, up-to-date advantages, and disadvantages, in addition to the necessity of future expansion in the domain.
