However, operators normally have to control multiple complex devices simultaneously. For example, controlling a rock breaker and a remote camera at the same time in mining teleoperation. This overloads the operator's control capability of using hands, increases workload and reduces productivity. We present a novel gaze-driven remote camera control with an implemented prototype, which follows a simple and natural design principle: "Whatever you look at on the screen, it moves to the centre!". A user study of modeled hands-busy experiment has been conducted, comparing the performance of using gaze-driven control and traditional joystick control through both objective measures and subjective measures. The experimental results clearly show the gaze-driven control significantly outperformed the conventional joystick control.Keywords: Gaze tracking; hands-busy situation; Remote cameras; rock breaking; Tele-operations; Usability evaluation; Remote control; Cameras Gaze tracking interfaces; hands-busy situation; remote camera control; rock breaking; teleoperation; usability evaluation201110.1016/j.intcom.2010.10.0032016-02-24
