  • Publication number: 20100231504
    Abstract: The invention relates to a system for manipulating images or graphics where the manipulation to be performed are selected or activated using eye-tracking. A number of hotspots are arranged around and bordering a region of interest (ROI), which are each, associated with an image parameter adjustment (e.g. contrast or brightness). An eye-tracking device determines a fixation point of the user and the system automatically performs the associated adjustment whenever the fixation point falls within a hotspot. The close bordering of the hotspots around the ROI allows the user to keep focus on the ROI and only slightly shift his/her gaze to or towards a hotspot for adjusting an image parameter. Thereby, the adjustment can be controlled while still keeping the ROI in focus so that the effect of the adjustment can be followed simultaneously.
