Eye tracking studies in the past have shown that people tend to look where they want to go. That is, if there’s an obstacle in the way, you’re better off choosing your line around it rather than staring at the object as you speed towards it. Take high performance driving schools, for example. They teach you to look where you want to go because your car (or whatever you happen to be steering – skis, a boat, etc) ends up going in the direction of your sight.Some researchers at the Freie Universtitat … [Read more...]
Eye Tracking: Challenging the Biological Monopoly
February 8, 2010 by at 5:00 pm
Here at Eye Tracking Update we’re often talking about eye tracking in humans, and thus dealing with humans’ physiological processes of seeing. But as we know, engineers are attempting to design other, less human objects with an ability to “see”, threatening a living organism’s monopoly on sight. Computers now have image tracking features and object recognition technology (see Google’s photo recognition software for an example). What exactly, you might ask, am I talking about here?Check … [Read more...]
