Abstract :
Presented is a wheelchair control using a head pose free eye-gaze estimation. The direction of the wheelchair is computed from a user´s eye-gaze pointing. The eye-gaze estimation system includes a 3D orientation sensor to take into account the head pose. Therefore, the user can change his or her pose with comfort during navigation. In experiments, its performance was evaluated in comparison with a manual keyboard control.
