ECEM2007 symposium on "Eye tracking as a scientific key to the future of usability research"
Abstract
Recent achievements in eye tracking technology allow for measurement in more natural environments and during less artificial tasks. With these advances, eye movement analysis becomes more and more attractive for usability research. There is a long history of eye movement studies aiming to understand visual perception, which have produced a large body of empirical evidence. Combining this knowledge with recent improvements in technology will provide the means to investigate interfaces between humans and technical systems. Challenges in the future will be the design of cognitive technical systems based on attention sensitive interfaces. Presentations of the symposium provide examples of innovative eye-tracking methods and applications and will also show suggestions of the integration of this technology with other methods and modalities.
The symposium will be in part sponsored by the EU Network-of-Excellence COGAIN (Communication by Gaze Interaction, www.cogain.org) and the EU-NEST- Pathfinder Project PERCEPT (Perceptual Consciousness – Explication and Testing, www.nest-percept.eu).
