An assistive HCI system based on block scanning objects using eye blinks

Abstract

Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) provides a new communication channel between human and the computer. We develop an assistive system based on block scanning techniques using eye blinks that presents a hands-free interface between human and computer for people with motor impairments. The developed system has been tested by 12 users who performed 10 common in computer tasks using eye blinks with scanning time 1.0 second. The performance of the proposed system has been evaluated by selection time, selection accuracy, false alarm rate and average success rate. The success rate has found 98.1%.
