Gaze-Shifting: Direct-Indirect Input with Pen and Touch Modulated by Gaze
summary
A method that switches a single direct device between direct and indirect control by comparing gaze and input position, implemented on a pen+touch display with an eye tracker and tested in example apps. A configurable 6–12 cm threshold (smaller for menus, ~3 cm) decides mode; examples include menu mode switching, drawing/continuing paths where pen hover shows next point, indirect cursor editing, and gaze-driven global pinch-zoom. Prototype works but needs training and still suffers occasional accidental activations.
