Abstract

Gaze + pinch interaction—where gaze serves to point, and a hand action triggers selection—is widely adopted in commercial devices. However, target selection failures caused by gaze-hand coordination errors limit its effectiveness. We examine how task complexity impacts gaze-hand coordination errors and propose an algorithm to mitigate misalignments in input between these modalities. Specifically, we studied tasks with varying visual (perceptually cued targets versus search) and manual (thumb-index pinch vs multi-finger pinch) complexity. We find that late finger touches account for 86.57% of the errors. Furthermore, increased manual complexity is associated with elevated error rates. Based on these insights, we developed a classifier capable of detecting late-triggered errors with a mean accuracy of 97.31% (SD 0.18). By defining the gaze point as the most temporally proximate target fixation before a finger tap, our algorithm corrects the majority (94.61%) of eye-hand input alignment errors, thereby improving gaze-based interactions on HMDs.
