A Study of the Challenges of Eye Tracking Systems and Gaze Interaction for Individuals with Motor Disabilities

• Eye tracking systems are crucial methods by which motor disabled people can interact with computers. Previous research in this field has identified various accessibility affecting eye tracking technologies and applications. However, there is limited research into first-hand user experiences among individuals with motor disabilities. This study aims to examine the actual challenges with eye tracking systems and the gaze interaction faced by motor disabled people. A survey was conducted among people with motor disabilities who used eye trackers for computer interactions. It reveals the current issues from their first-hand experiences in three areas: eye tracking program, gaze interaction, and accessible applications. A knowledge graph arising from the survey delineates the connections among the eye tracking usability issues. The survey’s results also indicate practical strategies for future improvements in eye trackers.
