DESCRIPTION:While our eye gaze represents an important medium for perceivi
 ng our environment\, it also serves as a fast and implicit way for signali
 ng interest in somebody or something. This could also benefit a flexible a
 nd convenient interaction with diverse computing systems ranging from smal
 l handheld devices to multiple large-sized screens. Considerable research 
 has already been pursued on gaze-only interaction\, which is however often
  described as error-prone\, imprecise\, and unnatural. To overcome these c
 hallenges\, multimodal combinations of gaze with additional input modaliti
 es show a high potential for fast\, fluent\, and convenient human-computer
  interaction in diverse user contexts. Promising examples for this novel s
 tyle of multimodal gaze-supported interaction are the seamless selection a
 nd manipulation of graphical objects displayed on distant screens by using
  a combination of a mobile handheld (such as a smartphone) and gaze input.
 \n \nIn my talk\, I will provide a brief introduction to gaze-based intera
 ction in general and present insights into my research at the Interactive 
 Media Lab. Thereby\, I will particularly emphasize the high potential of t
 he emerging area of multimodal gaze-supported interaction.\n \n
