Like point-select operations with a mouse, the eye can "look-select" to activate items such as buttons, icons, links, or text. SCOTT MACKENZIE is associate professor of Computer Science and Engineering at York University, Toronto, Canada. His research is in human-computer interaction with an emphasis on human performance measurement and modeling, experimental methods and evaluation, interaction devices and techniques, alphanumeric entry, language modeling, and mobile computing.
