The gaze gesture input has the advantages of high bandwidth, high efficiency, no misoperation and high customization, but it also has the disadvantages of high cognitive load and high fatigue degree. At present, few researches have thoroughly explored the regularity of gaze gesture input, which cause designers lack of design guidance, and it is difficult to reasonably apply gaze gesture input in interaction. This paper focuses on the study of the spatiotemporal features of the gaze gesture input. An experiment was designed so that the input region size, the feedforward type and the input gesture shape were within-subject experimental variables. By analyzing 1200 trajectory data of gaze gestures to exploring the effects of these three variables on the performance of and the subjective satisfaction of the gaze gesture input, the details of the three major characteristics of gaze gesture-based interaction were summarized, which are the input continuity, the implicit interaction and the real-time feedback. These may provide design guidance for gaze gesture interaction designers.
