Abstract
In some embodiments, a method receives images of eyes of a user. The method computes a vertical resting position of the eyes and computes a horizontal resting position of the eyes based on an average horizontal position of both of the eyes. An image of the eyes of the user is received. Then, the method calculates when an offset for a direction and a magnitude of the eyes is within a region in a plurality of regions and determines a command for the region. A call for the command is generated to a device to cause the command to be performed on a user interface.
