A prototype application was built for Android smartphones. From the several eye tracking algorithms and user interfaces implemented, only the one that seemed best was user tested. The user evaluation was conducted through the online medium and also with supervised users. The results of the user evaluation shows that the prototype application is difficult to use for uninstructed users. The user experience questionnaire shows that all test users were excited about the prototype. Moreover, they believe the prototype could become a...
