ITU Gaze Tracker

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 cameras that have been tested with the system can be found in our forum. 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. The requirements to run the ITU Gaze Tracker are: San Agustin, J., Skovsgaard, H., Hansen, J.

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. Application developers want to know if users have trouble finding the important tools and functions on screen. 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.

WebSVN - Subversion via Apache HowTo - A Small Orange Web Hosting Forums I wanted to set up a Subversion repository and allow public browsing. As dicussed elsewhere, Trac has too many dependencies (including mod_python or fcgi, which can be a pain) and WebDAV is out of the question for the shared accounts, so I needed an alternative. With a little searching, I found WebSVN which offered a few different, yet clean interfaces and a nice set of options. Here's how I set everything up: First we create a svn repository. We want to specify the FSFS type because the Berkley DB causes to many permission issues when apache runs as a different user than you. $ cd ~/ $ mkdir svn $ svnadmin create --fs-type fsfs svn Now, we want to lay out our repo into a nice format. Now, let's make sure it worked. $ svnlook tree /home/<username>/svn / ProjectB/ trunk/ branches/ tags/ ProjectA/ trunk/ branches/ tags/ $ cd ../ $ rm -r tmpdir Now we want to install WebSVN. Finally, we point WebSVN at our repo and alter any other settings we want: That should do it.

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. 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.

usability - Webcam-based eye tracking & heatmaps Eye tracking Measuring the point of gaze or motion of an eye relative to the head Edmund Huey[2] built an early eye tracker, using a sort of contact lens with a hole for the pupil. The lens was connected to an aluminum pointer that moved in response to the movement of the eye. The first non-intrusive eye-trackers were built by Guy Thomas Buswell in Chicago, using beams of light that were reflected on the eye, then recording on film. In the 1950s, Alfred L. All the records ... show conclusively that the character of the eye movement is either completely independent of or only very slightly dependent on the material of the picture and how it was made, provided that it is flat or nearly flat The cyclical pattern in the examination of pictures "is dependent on not only what is shown on the picture, but also the problem facing the observer and the information that he hopes to gain from the picture In the 1970s, eye-tracking research expanded rapidly, particularly reading research. Eye-attached tracking

Laser Gesture Recognition. Free source code and programming help Introduction Wouldn't it be great if we could somehow give visual commands to our computer without touching the keyboard or mouse? In this article, we will put together a simple laser gesture recognition application and use it to control Windows Media Player. This is far more comfortable than using a remote control because you don't have to look for the correct buttons in the dark. All you have to do is make a few simple gestures anywhere in the camera's field of view with a laser pointer, and that's it! This program recognizes simple gestures made on a wall with a laser pointer such as left, right, up, down, two downward and two upward diagonals. Video Our first step is to get a video feed into our application from a webcam. Recognition The program searches for the brightest pixel in its field of view (which is a laser dot, in our case) with luminance above a certain threshold value. Luminance = (299 * red + 587 * green + 114 * blue) / 1000 Controlling Windows Media Player Conclusion

LJ Eye Tracking Eye tracking involves measuring either where the eye is focused or the motion of the eye as an individual views a web page. When your site visitors are connected to eye tracking software, you will be able to tell: As a participant looks at a webpage, the eye tracking device focuses on the pupil of the participants eye and determines the direction and concentration of their gaze. The software generates data about these actions in the form of heat maps and saccade pathways: Heat maps Heat maps represent where the visitor concentrated their gaze and how long they gazed at a given point. Saccade pathways Saccade pathways trace the eye’s movement between areas of focus. Capabilities and Limitations of Eye Tracking When deciding whether to undertake eye tracking on your site it is important to consider your goals and resources as well as the capabilities and limitations of the testing method. When analyzing results, keep in mind the capabilities and limitations of eye tracking: Best Practices

dafont.com Семь грехов Нейромаркетинга | Votinoff Blog...О науке, просто Давно хотел написать обзор по теме нейромаркетинга и тут на глаза попалась вот эта статья, где почти тоже самое что я хотел написать. Поэтому я сделал свободный перевод и дополнил своими комментариями. Итак, какие же проблемы у этой новой области маркетинга? 1Закрытость исследований и методов обработки данных.Нейромаркетинговые исследования проводятся в основном частными компаниями, а не университетами. Из-за возможной боязни, что конкуренты узнают о используемых методах или еще по каким-то причинам, компании не распространяются о методах обработки данных. 2 Небольшое количество опубликованных материалов в научных журналах. Второй пункт является продолжение первого. В основном, о результатах исследований мы узнаем от самих же компаний. 3 Большинство людей знакомятся с нейромаркетингом через новости, а не научные статьи. Многие журналы и газеты любят популяризировать данные нейромаркетинга не вникая и не анализируя данные экспериментов. За примерами далеко ходить не надо. далее см page2
