The event is organised by the Game Systems and Interaction Research Laboratory (GSIL) in the School of Computing (COM) at Blekinge Institute of Technology (BTH). In cooperation with Tobii Technology.

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

The conference will take place at Blekinge Institute of Technology on the 26-27th of May 2011. The special theme of the conference is "Novel Gaze-Controlled Applications" and we hope to bring together a diverse group of people interested in this topic. The use of eye tracking has recently opened up many new exciting combinations. Not only does it make it possible to find out what and where people are attending to in stimuli and interfaces, it can also be connected to additional instrumentation or apparatus for example biometric or auditive information. In combination with eye tracking or gaze steering we can orchestrate our whole body in novel interaction with screen and different devices. Topics for contributions include but are not limited to the following areas:

* Interaction methods available when using gaze interaction
* Challenges associated with interaction methods and possible solutions for these
* Technical challenges when using eye tracking for interaction
* Where are the limitations, what implications does these limitations put on the interaction and what can be done to compensate for these limitations
* Integration of eye tracking with other modalities (galvanic skin response (GSR), audio, haptics, electroencephalography (EEG), graphics, pulse, brain-computer interface (BCI))

The application domains can be games, serious games, simulation training, robotics, health, accessibility, wellbeing and fitness, social interaction, team building…

Please join us in Karlskrona to interact with academic and industry researchers from Sweden and abroad, share new results, and discuss emerging directions for the field.
