GazeTheKey: Interactive Keys to Integrate Word Predictions for Gaze-based Text Entry

In the conventional keyboard interfaces for eye typing, the functionalities of the virtual keys are static, i.e., user?s gaze at a particular key simply translates the associated letter as user's input. In this work we argue the keys to be more dynamic and embed intelligent predictions to support gaze-based text entry. In this regard, we demonstrate a novel "GazeTheKey" interface where a key not only signifies the input character, but also predict the relevant words that could be selected by user's gaze utilizing a two-step dwell time.
