Eye tracking
Scientists track eye movements in glaucoma patients to check vision impairment while driving. Yarbus eye tracker from the 1960s. History[edit] In the 1800s, studies of eye movement were made using direct observations. In 1879 in Paris, Louis Émile Javal observed that reading does not involve a smooth sweeping of the eyes along the text, as previously assumed, but a series of short stops (called fixations) and quick saccades.[1] This observation raised important questions about reading, questions which were explored during the 1900s: On which words do the eyes stop? For how long? An example of fixations and saccades over text. Edmund Huey[2] built an early eye tracker, using a sort of contact lens with a hole for the pupil. The first non-intrusive eye-trackers were built by Guy Thomas Buswell in Chicago, using beams of light that were reflected on the eye and then recording them on film. In the 1950s, Alfred L.

ITU Gaze Tracker The ITU Gaze Tracker is an open-source eye tracker that aims to provide a low-cost alternative to commercial gaze tracking systems and to make this technology more accessible. It is developed by the Gaze Group at the IT University of Copenhagen and other contributors from the community, with the support of the Communication by Gaze Interaction Association (COGAIN). The eye tracking software is video-based, and any camera equipped with infrared nightvision can be used, such as a videocamera or a webcam. The ITU Gaze Tracker is hosted in SourceForge. In order to run the software, uncompress the zip file and double click on GazeTrackerUI.exe. The user's guide to run and configure the ITU Gaze Tracker can be downloaded from here (PDF document) You can also follow this screencast on youtube to help you in the setup process. If you have questions regarding your specific configuration, or would like some new features implemented in the software, please visit our forum. Open source license

Eye Tracking Software and Solutions - iMotions TrackEye : Real-Time Tracking Of Human Eyes Using a Webcam Introduction Eyes are the most important features of the human face. So effective usage of eye movements as a communication technique in user-to-computer interfaces can find place in various application areas. Eye tracking and the information provided by the eye features have the potential to become an interesting way of communicating with a computer in a human-computer interaction (HCI) system. So with this motivation, designing a real-time eye feature tracking software is the aim of this project. The purpose of the project is to implement a real-time eye-feature tracker with the following capabilities: RealTime face tracking with scale and rotation invariance Tracking the eye areas individually Tracking eye features Eye gaze direction finding Remote controlling using eye movements Instructions to Run and Rebuild TrackEye Installation Instructions Extract TrackEye_Executable.zip file. Settings to be Done to Perform a Good Tracking Settings for Face & Eye Detection Settings for Snake History

Oculométrie Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre. Oculomètre chez un astronaute L’oculométrie (en anglais Eye-tracking ou Gaze-tracking) regroupe un ensemble de techniques permettant d'enregistrer les mouvements oculaires. Les oculomètres les plus courants analysent des images de l'œil humain enregistrées par une caméra, souvent en lumière infrarouge, pour calculer la direction du regard du sujet. En fonction de la précision souhaitée, différentes caractéristiques de l'œil sont analysées. Usages de l'oculométrie[modifier | modifier le code] L'oculométrie est utilisée comme technique de mesure pour la recherche en psychologie, en psycholinguistique, en ergonomie et pour les pré-tests de publicité. Exemples d'utilisation : Techniques d'enregistrement des mouvements des yeux[modifier | modifier le code] Typologie des mouvements de l’œil humain[modifier | modifier le code] On distingue trois grands types de mouvement de l’œil : Les mouvements sacadiques : en particulier les saccades exploratoires.

Ce que voient les yeux du consommateur Comme le prouve cette vidéo, l'œil analyse sans cesse son environnement, prend des informations. Les zones regardées n'ont rien d'aléatoires mais correspondent à des zones d'intérêt fixées par le cerveau. La très récente méthode du eye tracking, issue de l'ophtalmologie et des sciences cognitives, permet d'en rendre compte. Les deux systèmes d'eye tracking Il existe deux systèmes aux objectifs différents : un fixe et un mobile. Le système fixe correspond à un ordinateur, doté de caméras infrarouges, sur l'écran duquel est affiché une image elle-même fixe ou mobile - visuel de produit ou film publicitaire. Le système mobile ressemble quant à lui à une paire de lunettes où l'on a fixé des caméras vidéo miniatures avec un double système de lentilles qui enregistre le champ visuel de l'individu qui les porte ainsi que, à l'intérieur de ce champs, le parcours fovéal.

Weekend Project: Take a Tour of Open Source Eye-Tracking Software Right this very second, you are looking at a Web browser. At least, those are the odds. But while that's mildly interesting to me, detailed data on where users look (and for how long) is mission-critical. Web designers want to know if visitors are distracted from the contents of the page. The categories mentioned above do a fairly clean job of dividing up the eye-tracking projects. For example, there are eye-tracking projects designed to work with standard, run-of-the-mill Web cams (like those that come conveniently attached to the top edge of so many laptops), and those meant to be used with a specialty, head-mounted apparatus. Many projects have a particular use-case in mind, but with the ready availability of Webcams, developers are exploring alternative uses suitable for gaming, gesture-input, and all sorts of crazy ideas. Tracking Eye Movement With a Webcam On the inexpensive end of the hardware spectrum are those projects that implement eye-tracking using a standard-issue Webcam.

Eye-Tracking Software Goes Mobile Go ahead, wake up your smartphone. No, don’t touch it! Just look at it. Wait for a second…and…yes! The day when eye tracking becomes a common feature in mobile gadgets may not be far off. But while the South Korean giants may be trailblazers in bringing gaze-based interfacing to the mobile market, analysts and researchers say their products only scratch the surface of what’s possible. Other innovators are working to build systems that not only detect face orientation but also follow the subtle motions of the head and eyes, allowing for more sophisticated applications. Eye-tracking systems for desktop computers have been around for decades—for instance, to conduct laboratory experiments and to help disabled people control their machines. The first hurdle is overcoming instability. Then there’s the problem of computing resources. In traditional image tracking, a system searches a large portion of each frame to identify relevant features, such as irises or eyelids.

PyGaze | projects Welcome to the PyGaze projects page! Here you will find all sorts of information, source code, and demonstrations of the stuff that we're currently working on at PyGaze HQ. We love to share our interest in science and technology with you! Most of this stuff is closely related to PyGaze, and gives a good idea of how you can use the toolbox. current projects PyGazeAnalyser Analysis of eye-tracking data without having to buy an expensive software package, or relying on a commercial party? eye tracker An eye tracker needn't be expensive! mantis shrimp This isn't really a project, but more of an homage to a creature with a truly incredible pair of eyes. news Sun. 2 March 2014 We have added a new project, and it's a big one!
