This paper proposes a method for decision of wheelchair motions by user's gaze. It is preferable for disabled and older users to move wheelchair without using any input device: such a joystick or complicated devices. Glasses captured user's eye movements and system decided wheelchair motions. In order to decide to wheelchair motions, system estimates angular velocity and acceleration of gaze using Auxiliary Particle Filter. Using estimated values, system decides wheelchair motions, user can operate wheelchair. We demonstrate wheelchair system through simulation and an experiment.
