Single web camera robust interactive eye-gaze tracking method

Abstract

Abstract. Eye-gaze tracking is an aspect of human-computer interaction still growing in popularity,. Tracking human gaze point can help control user interfaces and may help evaluate graphical user interfaces. At the same time professional eye-trackers are very expensive and thus unavailable for most of user interface researchers and small companies. The paper presents very effective, low cost, computer vision based, interactive eye-gaze tracking method. On contrary to other authors results the method achieves very high precision (about 1.5 deg horizontally and 2.5 deg vertically) at 20 fps performance, exploiting a simple HD web camera with reasonable environment restrictions. The paper describes the algorithms used in the eye-gaze tracking method and results of experimental tests, both static absolute point of interest estimation, and dynamic functional gaze controlled cursor steering.

Comparative analysis of multitouch interactive surfaces

“…If they are to be installed as coffee tables, for example, a big amount of attention must be paid to the device's ability to deal with multiple users at the same time and to deal with objects placed on it in an intelligent way. However, even the best touch screen means nothing if users do not feel like they are enjoying an experience which is worth the money they spent, or at least one that is meaningfully different from the one they could have simply using a regular computer or smart-phone [4]. Thus, apart from research aimed to improve the hardware, research to find better use cases and create better suited applications is also needed.…”

APEOW: A Personal Persuasive Avatar for Encouraging Breaks in Office Work

“…We also aim to develop new interactions with the environment, e.g. the robot could make use of user's eye movements [15] or hand movements [16]. First, we aim to compare different types of posture, personalisation options and other output parameters and their effectiveness on altering break regimes.…”
