Abstract

Techniques for text entry using gestures are disclosed. As disclosed, a camera may capture a frame and the face of the user can be detected therein. Landmarks can be aligned to the face in the captured frame. A left eye image and a right eye image may be extracted from the captured frame. The left eye image and the right image each may be resized and compared to a calibration template. A direction of eye gaze may be determined based upon the comparison. A character or word may be predicted based upon the determination of the direction of eye gaze and a known configuration of an eye gaze board (e.g., an E-tran board). The predicted character or word can be included as a part of a text-based message.
