GazeRace: Revolutionizing Remote Piloting with Eye-Gaze Control (2407.09459v2)

Abstract: This paper presents GazeRace, a novel system that leverages eye-tracking technology for intuitive drone control. Using the MediaPipe library, the system translates eye movements into precise drone commands, enabling effective remote piloting. In testing, GazeRace demonstrated an 18% reduction in drone trajectory length while maintaining competitive speed with traditional controls. The results suggest that this approach enhances control accuracy and reduces user frustration, offering a significant advancement in the field of human-computer interaction and drone navigation.
