NeoVisus Gaze Interaction

[12345dawun]

This is really interesting, it should be getting more attention. The only negative aspect I cans see is if you were to look away from the screen, or look at something by accident. Eyes do wander. Is there a gesture for selection, as in a frown or a blink? Or do you just focus on it?

Either way, it seems to me to be a big step forward in this area of technology. I hope it's used in many products in the future. Imagine an iPad with this?

Impressive! My mother has MS...Something like this would bring hope to her future, not only with the Computer, but has the potential of driving wheelchairs as well! Bravo!

I'm working on building an entirely new interaction system that miigght be able to use this.

very good work!, I'm trying to do something like that, but I'm not getting very good result...

any suggestion will be really appreciated!

I'm curious to know how far away a user can sit while using this system?

* Operating distance subject - camera 50 - 70 cm * Head tracking range 40 x 40 cm at 70 cm distance

Spread the word! Search Digg for "New eye movement computer control"

Really well done. Can't wait for a public beta/hardware specs.

this is awesome.... seriously, keep up the great work!

[martintall]

thanks adam, i'm getting some really good feeback on this, keep an eye open for future demos!

Yes nice but many people have already thought of this including myself (thought of this back in 2005) as for the selection on the screen think about how you going to do thati have another way far better than what you have now :P

[martintall]

Sounds cool Mr DesertR4ge. Do you have any form of demonstration/paper? Would like to discuss your ideas but your not giving me too much to go on here ;)

One question, what about clicking?

I have no sound now.. =\

[martintall]

This has been one of my major concerns for this work. Gaze is "always on" and blinking is not the solution. My interface relies in most cases on a second eye movement to make the selection.

First, look at the button and the menu will appear then look at the icon to activate. It becomes really fast when one gets used to it. The activation speed can be configured to suit individual needs.

Nice work, that would be useful and funny too, why not? Keep on the good work...

is it possible to control a mouse cursor in the same way? So that it could be applied to current UIs?

[60Locster]

wow i would love to use this. I hate using a mouse. On some of my pcs I use a hand held Trackball with a trigger. Its meant for a laptop but I use it on some of my pcs. So I can keep my hand on my lap. Nice work by the way.

Nice work Martin... I have downloaded your thesis for a read as well :)

[martintall]

Thanks! The UI components I've built can be reused which enables swift drag-and-drop gaze app development. Considering a public release and a set of videos that demonstrate how to use them.
