Blikstyring

Blikstyring, often translated as "gaze control" or "eye tracking," refers to the technological capability to interpret and utilize the direction and duration of a person's gaze as an input method. This technology typically involves a specialized camera system that monitors the user's eyes, calculating where they are looking on a screen or within a physical space. Sophisticated algorithms then translate this visual data into commands that can operate software, control devices, or gather information about user attention.

The primary application of blikstyring is in assistive technology for individuals with severe physical disabilities who may have limited or no use of their limbs. By enabling communication and computer control through eye movements, blikstyring offers a means of interaction, independence, and enhanced quality of life. Beyond accessibility, the technology finds use in market research and user experience studies, where it can reveal product appeal, website usability, and advertising effectiveness by tracking what aspects of a display capture a user's attention. In virtual reality and gaming, blikstyring can provide more immersive experiences by allowing in-game actions to be triggered by where a player looks, or by adjusting the visual field based on gaze. The development of blikstyring continues to advance, aiming for greater accuracy, speed, and a wider range of applications.
