The moment an online password is entered is the least secure point and typically the moment where private information is stolen due to visual snooping.To combat this problem, researchers at Stanford University implemented a system for password entry via eye tracking. By creating an on-screen keyboard interface with a red focus point for each key, users can use their gaze to input passwords, open windows, and safely navigate the more insecure moments of online use. Users calibrate their gaze … [Read more...]

GDC Friday: Muybridge’s Motion

One reason GDC 2009 is so exciting is that it provides a showcase for all the newest gadgets that people have been tinkering with for years in labs and offices, garages and basements. In a way, events like these remind me of what the World Expos of the early 1900s used to be like, showcasing new creations from iced cream to photography, ferris wheels to moving vehicles. With time comes perspective on how exactly these new gadgets have changed the world and the corresponding environments we live … [Read more...]

Apparently it’s all USB from here on out for Mac.That said, Eye-Com is certainly looking forward to the latest version – USB 3.0 – to incorporate into our technology. With faster transfer speeds comes high-quality streaming video, something the entire eye-tracking industry can be excited about. USB 3.0 is boasting a transfer … [Read more...]

Rest in Peace, Mouse… part 2

July 26, 2008 by dbrendant at 5:51 pm

Yesterday I posted an article that I came across on Wired.com talking about new UI (user interface) trends that are overtaking the conventional mouse as the preferred mode of control.  I referred to the list that Wired posted with the article, but wanted to go back and explain what each of these actually were in a bit more detail, just in case anyone was curious.  First, touchscreens.  These are pretty self-explanatory, especially now that iPhones have become so ubiquitous.  In a sense, … [Read more...]
