Summary:

The wearable EOG goggles were designed to fulfil thefollowing requirements:

1. To achieve a convenient and unobtrusive implementation and minimise user distraction the device needs to be wearable and lightweight.

2. To allow for autonomous long-term use in daily life the device needs to be low-power.

3. The device needs to provide adaptive real-time signal processing capabilities to allow for context-aware interaction.

4. To compensate for EOG signal artefacts caused by physical activity and changes in ambient light an accelerometer and a light sensor need to be added.

Two components in the EOG - goggles and processing unit. Gesture based interaction include blink detection and removal, saccade detection and eye gesture recognition

Discussion:

Looks like a device specification and a user study to support the specification.
