The symposium will present<br class=""> advances in these areas, leading to new capabilities in gaze<br class=""> interaction, gaze enhanced applications, gaze contingent devices<br class=""> etc. Topics of interest include all aspects of gaze interaction and<br class=""> communication by gaze including, but not limited to <br class=""><br class=""> * Eye-controlled assistive technology<br class=""> * Eye-typing<br class=""> * Gaze interfaces for wearable computing<br class=""> * Gaze-contingent devices<br class=""> * Gaze-aware applications<br class=""> * Gaze-enhanced games<br class=""> * Gaze interaction with mobile devices<br class=""> * Gaze interaction in virtual and augmented environments<br class=""> * Gaze interaction paradigms<br class=""> * Usability and UX evaluation of gaze-based interfaces<br class=""> * User context estimation from eye movements<br class=""> * 3D gaze interaction<br class=""><br class=""> The three best papers nominated by the Program Committee and selected <br class=""> for presentation at the COGAIN Symposium will be announced at<br class=""> <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://cogain2018.cogain.org">http://cogain2018.cogain.org</a> as soon as the full program becomes<br class=""> available.
