Considering the potential of eye-tracking technology, the design, development, and evaluation of novel gaze-assisted scalable interaction paradigms for pervasive computing environments is the primary goal of “Gaze-Assisted Scalable Interactions in Pervasive Classrooms”. Our reference scenario is situated in a pervasive online classroom where we explore the potential of gaze for effective, efficient, and satisfying explicit and implicit interactions between users and devices to improve interactions during learning and teaching. The results of this project will contribute to revealing the unknown focus, intention, contextual situation, and internal state of individual learners and instructors in online environments.

How can gaze information improve the interaction between users and devices in online learning and teaching?

1. How can we assess users’ focus, intention, contextual situation, and internal state during the interaction with devices through gaze information?
2. How can we improve the learning and teaching experience by designing effective, efficient, and satisfying scalable gaze-based interaction techniques?
