 BLUE EYES TECHNOLOGY

Aims at creating computational machines that have perceptual and

sensory abilities like those of human beings.

It uses most modern video cameras and microphones to identify the users
actions through the use of imparted sensory abilities .

The machine can understand what a user wants, where he is looking at, and
even realize his physical or emotional states.
The term BLUE EYES

BLUE stands for Bluetooth, which enables reliable

wireless communication.

 
EYES because the eye movement enables us to
obtain a lot of interesting
and important information.
 Gaze for Pointing?

Hand unavailable

Eye faster than other organs

Look first, manipulation follow

Reduces fatigue
Difficulties with Gaze Pointing
Eye tracking not precise

 Measurement error

Eye movement

(1 degree - twice scrollbar width)

Only large targets work (0.5 in)

Difficulties with Gaze Pointing
How to do buttons (click)?
Blink - often subconscious
Dwell time - continuous fixation for set period (e.g.
200 ms)
False selections
Misses
What about double or right click?
Difficulties with Gaze Pointing
Unnatural model:
eye - perception organ, driven by mind and world
hand - manipulation (motor) organ
gaze pointing - loading perceptual channel with motor
tasks

Dead end ????

 MAGIC
MANUAL AND GAZE INPUT CASCADED

MANUAL ACQUISITION WITH GAZE INITIATED

CURSOR
 Utilize Eye Gaze Implicitly

 One of the developing blue eyes technologies.

 Utilize eye gaze for computer input.

 MAGIC POINTING
Gaze is used to redefine the “home” position of the
pointing cursor to be at the vicinity of the target.
cursor position redefined, the user need to make a
small movement to click on the target.
Two types
 Liberal
 Conservative
 Liberal magic pointing technique

Cursor is placed in the

vicinity of a target that the
user fixates on.

Actual input device,

observe the cursor position
and decide in which
direction to steer the cursor
Conservative magic pointing technique

To minimize directional

uncertainty “intelligent bias”
is introduced.

The cursor position is offset

intersection of the manual
actuation vector and the
boundary of the gaze area.
 ADVANTAGES OF MAGIC
Reduction of manual stress and fatigue

Practical accuracy level

More natural mental model for the use

Speed
 DISADVANTAGES OF MAGIC

Liberal MAGIC pointing technique

cursor warping can be overactive at times.

Conservative MAGIC pointing technique

uncertainty of the exact location may force the user to

adopt a cumbersome strategy

 CONCLUSION
The BLUE EYES technology ensures a convenient

way of simplifying the life by providing more

delicate and user friendly facilities in computing

devices.

But it has not been commercially applied yet.
