The PEEP Project
The Processing Easy Eye Tracker Plugin, or PEEP for short, is probably the easiest way you can find to develop beautifully looking eye tracker applications. It is built on top of Processing's simplicity and enhances it with real time tracking input.
With just a few lines of code you can facilitate the user's gaze and head position to create interactive, standalone tracking apps on Windows, Mac and Linux. And even if you don't have a tracker yet, PEEP comes with a simulator to help you out. This means you can start developing your apps on any computer and move to a tracker later on without altering a single line of code.
Oh, and it's free by the way ;-)
You can 
it directly, but you can also have a look at the project page first.

The Text 2.0 Framework We created a simple-to-use framework to construct gaze-responsive applications using web technology focussing on text. A plugin enables any compatible browser to interpret a new set of gaze handlers that behave similar to existing HTML and JavaScript mouse and keyboard event facilities. Keywords like onFixation, onGazeOver, and onRead can be attached ... Presented at International IUI 2010 Workshop on Eye Gaze in Intelligent Human Machine Interaction.

The eyeBook A rapid development of eye tracking technology has been observed in recent years. Today’s eye trackers can determine the current focus point of the eye precisely while being relatively unobtrusive in their application. Also, a variety of research and commercial groups has been working on this technology, and there is a growing interest for such devices on the market. Eye tracking has great potential and it can be assumed ... Published in Informatik Spektrum Obtain Paper |

Segment-Level Display Time as Implicit Feedback: A Comparison to Eye Tracking We examine two basic sources for implicit relevance feed- back on the segment level for search personalization: eye tracking and display time. A controlled study has been con- ducted where 32 participants had to view documents in front of an eye tracker, query a search engine, and give explicit relevance ratings for the results. We examined the perfor- mance of the basic implicit feedback methods with respect to improved ... Presented at SIGIR’09, July 19–23, 2009, Boston, Massachusetts, USA Download Paper |

Query Expansion Using Gaze-Based Feedback on the Subdocument Level We examine the effect of incorporating gaze-based attention feedback from the user on personalizing the search process. Employing eye tracking data, we keep track of document parts the user read in some way. We use this information on the subdocument level as implicit feedback for query expansion and reranking ...
