Introduction
• Eye movement-based interaction is one of several areas of current research in human
computer interaction in which a new interface style seems to be emerging. In the non-
command style, the computer passively monitors the user and responds as appropriate, rather than
waiting for the user to issue specific commands.
Current Interfacing Techniques
• Normal Interface
• Touch Screen
• Voice
• Wave
• Eye movement
The Eye
• Cornea is a transparent
structure that covers the iris
pupil; a part of the focusing
an eye.
• Pupil is the adjustable opening
at the center of the iris that
varying amounts of light to
eye.
• Lens helps to focus light on
retina.
• Retina includes rods (94%),
are sensitive to light and cones
that capture colors. Cones are
concentrated in the centre of
retina - the fovea
Vision Field
• Vision field is divided in to three
regions
• Fovea provides the sharpest
vision
• Parafovea previews foveal
information
• Peripheral vision reacts to
flashing objects and sudden
movements
Types of Eye Movements
• Fixation
• Saccade
• Pursuit
• Tremor
• Rotation
• Drift
Methods for Measuring Eye
Movements
• Electronic
• Mechanical
• Optical/Video
1. Single point
2. Two point
Electronic Method
• The most used method is
to place skin electrodes
around the eyes and
measure the potential
differences in eye
• Wide range -- poor
accuracy
• Better for relative than
absolute eye movements
• Mainly used in neurological
diagnosis
Mechanical Method
1. Based on contact lenses with
• mirror planes + reflecting IR-light
• coil + magnetic field
2. Very accurate
3. Very uncomfortable for users who
are not
used to wear lenses
• Usable only for lab studies
Optical/Video based Method-single
point
1. Tracking one visible feature of the eyeball,
e.g.:
• limbus (bondary of sclera and iris)
• pupil
2. A video camera observes one of the user's
eyes • Image processing software analyzes
the video image and traces the tracked
feature
3. Based on calibration, the system
determines where the user is currently
looking
4. Head movements not allowed
• Bite bar or head rest is needed
Optical/Video based Method-two
point
1. The same idea as in the single point
method except now two features of eye
are tracked – typically
• corneal reflection
• pupil
2. Uses IR light (invisible to human eye) to
• produce corneal reflection
• cause bright or dark pupil, which helps
the system to recognize pupil from video
image Bright pupil Corneal reflection
Eye Tracking System
Corneal reflection plus pupil eye tracker
Cont...
• Corneal reflection plus pupil eye tracker
• The pupil camera and illuminator operate along the same optical axis
• Servo controlled mirror is used to compensate for the user’s head
motions.
• tracks the corneal reflection from an infrared light shining on eye and
the outline of the pupil illuminated by same light.
• Computes the visual line of eye gaze by relationship between two
tracked points
Applications
• Automated drug screening.
• Retail advertising effectiveness.
• SurgicalTraining
• Training and simulation
• Vision Research
Advantages
• Eye movement is faster than other current input media.
• No training or particular coordination is required of normal users.
• Can determine where the user’s interest is focused automatically.
• Helpful for usability studies to understand users interact with their
environments
Limitations
• Equipment is expensive
• Some users can't work with the equipment (if they wear contact
lenses or have long eye lashes)
• Moving one's eyes is often an almost subconscious act.
Conclusion
• Emerging InteractionTechnique
• Eye tracking is far from “perfect”
• show the intensity of the user’s attention
Any questions..?
Thankyou.
