For example, we have found that addition to user-computer dialogues. We have previously when eye gaze interaction is working well, the system can reported on our interaction techniques using eye gaze [10]. feel as though it is anticipating the user ’s commands, almost While our techniques seemed useful in demonstration, we as if it were reading the users mind. It requires no manual now investigate their strengths and weaknesses in a input, which frees the hands for other tasks. A reasonable controlled setting. In this paper, we present two definition of performing well is if eye gaze interaction does experiments that compare an interaction technique we not slow down interaction and can break even with the developed for obj ect selection based on a wh
