System and method for using gaze control to control electronic switches and machinery

Abstract:

A system that detects a gaze interaction from a user or animal based on information received from a camera. For example, the user looks directly at the camera or is looking at an angle toward the camera. In response to detecting the gaze interaction, the system identifies an associated action for controlling one or more of an electrical element and a mechanical element. For example, the action may be to control lighting system. The action is then initiated to control the one or more of the electrical element and the mechanical element.
