EyeDraw

A software application developed at the University of Oregon that enables people with severe motor impairments, particularly children, to create freehand drawings using eye movements tracked by an eye tracker. EyeDraw uses a two-state interaction model where users alternate between a Looking state (green cursor for viewing) and a Drawing state (red cursor for creating lines) controlled by gaze dwell time, solving the Midas touch problem that made earlier free-eye drawing systems impractical. The system demonstrates that eye tracking can support creative expression, not just communication and basic computer control.
