These individuals need augmentative and alternative communication tools, since they may have only the eye movements as a form of communication and interaction with the outside world. This work investigates methods of interaction based on eye movement tracking and presents a virtual keyboard that utilizes gaze detection as a text input. It describes the development of the shape detection algorithm for the assistive keyboard, typed word voting from a Brazilian Portuguese lexicon and preliminary results on the decoding algorithm.</p>}, number={11}, journal={IEEE Latin America Transactions}, author={da Silva, Rafael Augusto and Paschoarelli Veiga, Antônio Cláudio}, year={2021}, month={Mar.}, pages={1909–1916} }
