ABSTRACT
Domotics Systems, also known as home automation systems, have been in use for several years. They have helped and assisted many people in making their lives better, by making the interaction with household devices and appliances easier and more automated. Current domotic systems suffer from ac- cessibility issues: very few systems provide a control interface accessible through assistive devices, such as switches and eye trackers. In 2007 the Cogain project published the Draft Recommendation for gaze based environmental control (Corno et al., 2007) to overcome this drawback. The Draft Recommenda- tion proposed a software architecture for house gateways and a set of guidelines for developing domotic control interfaces based on gaze interaction. In 2008 several works of e-lite research group of Politecnico di Torino provided an implementation of the software architecture proposed in the draft: the Domotic OSGi Gateway (DOG) (Bonino et al., 2008). This paper presents an ongoing research focused on the design and development of a user interface for DOG, based on EYE Interaction (DOGEYE) with the purpose of fulfilling the Cogain guidelines requirements and to become a reference implementation of the Recommendations. The application presented in this paper introduces some new gaze interaction techniques which can increase the speed selection and speed up also the error recovering.
