description We conducted an experiment where participants carried out six gaze gesture tasks. The gaze paths were analyzed to find out the speed and accuracy of the gaze gestures. As a result, the gaze gestures took more time than we anticipated and only the very fastest participants got close to what was expected. There was not much difference in performance times between small and large gaze gestures, because the participants reached significantly faster speed when making large gestures than small gestures. Curved shapes were found difficult to follow and time-consuming when followed properly. In general, the accuracy in following shapes was sometimes very poor. We believe that to improve the speed and accuracy of gaze gestures, proper feedback must be used more than in our experiment.
