EyeMU Interactions: Experimental Gaze Tracking and Gesture Control for Mobile Devices
This repository (linked to post) houses the code for the paper EyeMU Interactions: Gaze + IMU Gestures on Mobile Devices. They explored the combination of gaze-tracking and motion gestures on the phone to enable enhanced single-handed interaction with mobile devices. You can see links to their open-access paper for further details, as well as their demo video.
I actually tested this on a desktop webcam, and even that actually works for gaze tracking (to some extent).
The biggest problem, for me anyway, is remembering what gestures to use, so an app to help practice a bit (like a game) can really help get into that muscle memory type approach. Eye tracking does seem quite natural, and I like the way they use the eye tracking to eliminate false positives with gestures.
At the link below, are some links to the demo sites you can try out from your mobile device (hint go for the Playground link to avoid very lengthy calibrations), no software to be installed.

Assistive Tech: Blink your eyes in Morse code to type using a webcam
Most of us use our hands to interface with computers, but the human body is capable of many types of input other than that of fingers and feet. But what about people who can’t use their extremities and don’t have a voice? For their sake, it’s time to get creative.
This works with just an old webcam thanks to the new trans-consciousness messaging protocol, which operates by using facial detection and then interpreting the amount of changed pixels between video frames.
