Abstract
Systems and methods for hands-free scrolling are disclosed herein. An example method includes detecting an eye movement or gaze of a user relative to content displayed on a display screen of the computing device, the content being arranged along a y axis of the display screen, determining that the user has viewed a portion of the content provided on the display screen and where along the y axis the eye movement or gaze is directed; and automatically scrolling the content on the display in response to the eye movement or gaze of the user in relation to the y axis.
