| Abstract | Can eye-tracking technology move beyond niche applications and into the mainstream - and would you want it to?. Eye tracking has been around for decades, used by researchers studying the physiology and psychology of human vision. But with rapidly falling costs and recent technological advances, the tech is finally moving away from passive analysis and into the area of active interaction. People with disabilities use it to move the cursor on a computer screen, and there are trials to get them to control their prosthetic limbs just by using their gaze. Eye-tracking video gaming isstarting to take off, and many firms are beginning to explore the tech to understand how their customers react to adverts and shop displays using state-of-the-art headsets with integrated eye tracking. In the following decades this approach flourished, with a host of techniques that relied on recording reflections from light bouncing off the eye. Specifically, academics looked at how tracking the eye's endless sequence of fixations (pauses on a specific area) and saccades (rapid movementsbetween fixations) could help them better understand the visual system and even spot neurological disorders; as computers became widely available, they could even compute and analyse subtle differences in gaze patterns that are not noticed by humans. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
