SUMMARY:Pervasive Eye Tracking - Opportunities and Challenges - Dr Andreas
  Bulling\, Computer Laboratory\, University of Cambridge

CONTACT:Louise White
DESCRIPTION:Recent developments in mobile eye tracking equipment and autom
 ated eye movement analysis point the way toward unobtrusive eye-based huma
 n-computer interfaces that are pervasively usable in everyday life. We cal
 l this new paradigm pervasive eye tracking – continuous eye monitoring a
 nd analysis 24/7. The potential applications for the ability to track and 
 analyse eye movements anywhere and any time call for new research to furth
 er develop and understand visual behaviour in daily life settings.\n\nIn t
 he first part of my talk I will provide a short history of stationary and 
 mobile eye tracking. I will introduce the emerging field of pervasive eye 
 tracking research and will highlight its key characteristics as well as re
 search challenges. I will introduce a novel machine learning based approac
 h to eye movement analysis that - in contrast to traditional approaches us
 ing gaze - focuses on analysing the dynamics of eye movements over time. I
 n the second part of my talk I will report on several user studies using t
 his approach\, more specifically eye-based activity recognition as well as
  inference of visual memory recall and concentration from eye and body mov
 ements. I will conclude my talk by identifying particular promising resear
 ch directions for pervasive eye tracking in computer science and experimen
 tal psychology.\n
