5.4.3.5 Gaze Keyboard
By selecting the Gaze Keyboard button on the Taskbar, the Gaze Keyboard will launch as an on-screen keyboard. The Gaze
Keyboard will be positioned either at the top or at the bottom of the screen depending on where the user has placed the last
mouse click (or last cursor position) before launching the Gaze Keyboard. The keyboard will place itself on the opposite side
from where the mouse/cursor is.
The Gaze Keyboard consists of four keyboard pages in a rotating loop. The user can easily switch between the different key-
board pages by selecting the next page buttons located to the far left and right on all pages of the Gaze Keyboard.
The key on the keyboard where the user is looking will be indicated by a light frame around the character/function on the key.
While the user is typing, the last 5-10 characters will be displayed in blue on the indicated/highlighted key. This feature assists
the user in easily spotting misspellings and reduces the need for looking at the actual spot where the text is inserted, thus in-
creasing typing speed.
The four keyboard pages are:
