7 Adapting IntelliGaze to Different

Applications

7.1 Blickfang™ Concept

The measured gaze is never 100% accurate and stable because of measurement tolerances and the

physiology of the eye. A gaze cursor that is directly coupled to the measured gaze will distract the user

and create additional errors because the eye tends to follow moving and jittering target rather than

staying focused on the real content of the screen.

IntelliGaze uses a technology to snap the gaze cursor into elements. This works not just for controls in

IntelliGaze but also in some selected Third party applications.

Additionally, the Blickfang technology is employed by Desktop 2.0 to use the snap in function on any

arbitrary Windows application that supports the so called UI-automation. The so called “decoupled cur-

sor” is required to apply the snap in behaviour of the cursor.

Blickfang greatly enhances the user experience and it is recommended to make use of it wherever pos-

sible.
