Abstract:
Alternative means of interaction in games are especially important for disabled users for which traditional techniques using mouse and keyboard are not feasible. Apart from voice recognition gaze has lately been used as an input modality in games [Jonsson 2005; ̈ Isokoski and Benoˆıt 2006; Smith and Graham 2006]. We present a 3rd person adventure puzzle game using a novel combination of non intrusive eye tracking technology and voice recognition for game communication. Figure 1 shows the game, and its first person sub games that make use of eye tracker functionality in contrasting ways: a catapult challenge (a) and a staring competition (b).
