Saccades refers to the duration when consumers relocate their stare quickly from one object to an additional. Fixations pertains to the time period when consumers look at an item," the scientists explained.." Our experts created a protocol that determines the security of the gaze indication as well as establishes a threshold to classify fixations coming from saccades. Our team use the stare estimate points in these higher stability regions as click applicants. Evaluation on our dataset reveals accuracy and repeal rate of 85.9% and 96.8% on identifying keystrokes within inputting sessions," they added.Advertisement. Scroll to carry on analysis.
