Abstract
As a result of progressively disabling disease, some people with disabilities (e.g. progressive muscular dystrophy, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, etc.) become hard of operating scanning communication aids. In this case they communicate solely with their eyes, moving them up (or left) as "yes", down (or right) as "no" or blinking as input signals for a scanning communication aids. It is intuitive and efficient, however, eye-gazed character on communication board (or item on menu board) is selected directly. In this report, we analyzed eye movement with visual feedback during gazing desired characters on communication board and described prototype of eye gaze communication system. 6 non-disabled subjects tried to operate this system and they could pick up their name and some greetings only by eye gazing.
