Re-dwell from left time when re-entering cell in x time #1

Open willwade opened 7 years ago

willwade commented 7 years ago

What a lot of dwell software does is allows the user to restart the dwell from where it left off if they leave and then re-enter the cell within a period of time. For example:

a | b | c

dwell time for activation = 800ms user dwells in a for 500ms. Leaves to b for 30ms and then re-enters a. Dwell should restart at 500ms until 800ms is reached.

This should be configurable - and the default time set to be quite low.. (Obviously)!

Neil: Only parking this here as an idea.. hope you don't mind!(And watching this project as I'll try and do it myself at some point in the future!)

All the best

That sounds interesting - though I guess the dwell timer on a cell should reset after a short time of being browsed out of - e.g. half a second? I am wondering if our set up for a child (with Communicator 5 and PC Eye Go) has the option to not reset a dwell time when the user gazes away from a cell - at the moment it always restarts if the user gazes out and back into the cell: not resetting could help when/if glints from his glasses make the device think he's moved to another cell.

Anyway, I'm not planning on doing any more work with this web-based eye gaze project - so if you/anyone finds anything useful from it - then they're welcome to have it.
