| Description | In this paper, we shortly introduce GColl group-to-group videoconferencing environment and our motivation for using gaze-tracker to control the environment. We propose an eye-control interface, which allows its user to move his focus among other participants of the videoconference. We implemented and tested the interface using freely available gaze tracker. Off-the-shelf webcams, which capture video in the Gcoll client, were also used for the eye-tracking.
