Abstract

Eye-tracking technology has rapidly gained popularity as a revolutionary solution for individuals with severe physical disabilities, empowering them to engage in their daily activities with newfound independence and efficiency. By utilizing advanced eye-tracking systems, individuals with limited mobility are able to control various devices and interfaces simply by moving their eyes. This paper utilizes deep learning techniques to create a low-cost real-time eye-tracking interface for controlling systems. A smart wheelchair and a robotic arm have been developed to design an eye-tracker, aiming to address the challenges faced by paralyzed people with severe physical limitations. The results demonstrate that eye-tracking is both fast and accurate, making it an effective tool for improving the interactions and accessibility for disabled individuals.
