abstract = {Gaze may be a good alternative input modality for people with limited hand mobility. This accessible control based on eye tracking can be implemented into telepresence robots, which are widely used to promote remote social interaction and providing the feeling of presence. This extended abstract introduces a Ph.D. research project, which takes a two-phase approach towards investigating gaze-controlled telepresence robots. A system supporting gaze-controlled telepresence has been implemented. However, our current findings indicate that there were still serious challenges with regard to gaze-based driving. Potential improvements are discussed, and plans for future study are also presented.},

abstract = {We present an interface for control of a telerobot that supports field-of-view panning, mode selections and keyboard typing by head- and gaze-interaction. The utility of the interface was tested by 19 able-bodied participants controlling a virtual telerobot from a wheelchair mounted on rollers which measure its wheel rotations, and by 14 able-bodied participants controlling the telerobot with a exercise bike. Both groups tried the interface twice: with head- and with gaze-interaction. Comparing wheelchair and bike locomotion control, the wheelchair simulator was faster and more manoeuvrable. Comparing gaze- and head-interaction, the two input methods were preferred by an equal number of participants. However, participants made more errors typing with gaze than with head. We conclude that virtual reality is a viable way of specifying and testing interfaces for telerobots and an effective probe for eliciting peoples subjective experiences.},
