Abstract
Systems and methods described relate to a user to providing input to a computing device using eye tracking from a mobile position. A scene camera is mounted to the user so that the system collects image information related to where the user is looking. An indication is provided on a monitor of the computing device, or other field of view, to signify the presence and location of an identifying region of the monitor or field of view. An eye camera mounted to the user collects image information of the user's eye relating to a direction of gaze of the eye. When the direction of gaze of the user's tracked eye intersects the identifying region of the monitor or field of view, suitable eye tracking methods for controlling a computing device may be used to send instructions to the computing device.
