  • Text Entry with Finger Tapping and Gaze-Directed Word Selection
    Publication number: 20250217030
    Abstract: A text entry apparatus, storage medium and method where users type by tapping their fingers in place, called TapGazer, is presented. Users can tap anywhere as long as the identity of each tapping finger can be detected with sensors. The ambiguity between different possible input words is resolved by selecting target words with gaze. If gaze tracking is unavailable, ambiguity is resolved by selecting target words with additional taps.
