Gaze and Feet as Additional Input Modalities for Interacting With Geospatial Interfaces

“…In general, participants found panning 'easy and intuitive' with the Walking method. These results and qualitative feedback confirm the previous studies (e.g., Klamka et al, 2015, Stellmach & Dachselt 2012b), thus we confirm that the tested interaction modalities lead to promising results also with GIS experts, and the specific hardware configuration we used.…”

“…This is motivated partly to give additional or alternative modalities for complex interfaces, and partly because input through gaze or foot would have meaningful applications for certain types of disabilities. However, combining gaze and foot input appears to have been rare (Göbel et al, 2013;Klamka et al, 2015). Klamka et al (2015) also worked with zoom and pan.…”

“…However, combining gaze and foot input appears to have been rare (Göbel et al, 2013;Klamka et al, 2015). Klamka et al (2015) also worked with zoom and pan. They demonstrated that their implementation outperformed the traditional mouse-only interaction and their users dominantly preferred the new combination of modalities including gaze and feet input.…”

“…Our study complements their work by collecting gestures from GIS experts, thus specializes the input to the target user group. Furthermore, we implement the feet interaction through an off-the-shelf gaming board as opposed to Klamka et al (2015)'s specialized pedal hardware. We believe using an off-the-shelf device makes our approach more accessible to anyone who wishes to reproduce our results, or experiment with the approach.…”

Resolving Target Ambiguity in 3D Gaze Interaction through VOR Depth Estimation

“…In our technique, we use eye tracking data in combination with the information obtained from additional sensors for target selection. Others have also utilized the additional tracking sensors available on commercial head-mounted displays for enhancing 3D gaze estimation [21,23,26].…”
