Contents: Reasons for Researching Some Background on Eye Movement My Approach to the Research Requirements Goals and applications Timeline Questions
Reasons for Research Computer Interfacing heading to more natural interfacing Research into Reading techniques Experienced vs New Perceptions Webpage reading
Background on Eye Movements Broken down into two parts Saccades Fixations Eye Points Fovea as a focus point
My Approach Use an infrared light Webcam with an infrared filter Process the raw feed Find the center Calculate the focus point Work on the efficiency Apply the system
Requirements A Web-Camera An infrared filter An infrared light
Goals and Applications Goals To get the efficiency good enough for use To apply the system to an appropriate function Possible applications Reading tracker Mouse scroll Window switcher
Timeline Literature review – 28 th May Raw Feed stream – June Finding the Fovea – July Algorithm and Efficiency Maximisation – September Application – October Final Project due – 2 nd November
