Evaluation of Gaze Tracking Technology for Social Interaction in Virtual Environments
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a study of the application of eye tracking technology in the context of social interaction in a virtual environment. We evaluate the reliability and precision of gaze tracking in two different virtual reality applications. In spite of the known drawbacks, the technology still has a potential for interaction with virtual humans.

LAIF: A Logging and Interaction Framework for Gaze- Based Interfaces in Virtual Entertainment Environments
Eye tracking is starting to be used for evaluation and interaction in virtual environments. Especially digital games can benefit from an integrated approach, using eye tracking technology for analysis and interaction. One benefit is faster development of gaze interaction games, which can be automatically evaluated in iterative development cycles. For this purpose, we present a framework of prog...
متن کاملRabbit Run: Gaze and Voice Based Game Interaction
Modern eye tracking technology allows an observer’s gaze to be determined in realtime by measuring their eye movements. Recent studies have examined the viability of using gaze data as a means of controlling computer games. This paper investigates the combination of gaze and voice recognition as a means of hands-free interaction in 3D virtual environments. A novel game evaluation framework is i...

Immersive collaborative virtual environments (CVEs) are simulations in which geographically separated individuals interact in a shared, three-dimensional, digital space using immersive virtual environment technology. Unlike videoconference technology, which transmits direct video streams, immersive CVEs accurately track movements of interactants and render them nearly simultaneously (i.e., in r...
متن کاملEvaluation and Analysis of Eye Gaze Interaction
Eye gaze interaction can provide a convenient and natural addition to user-computer dialogues. We have previously reported on our interaction techniques using eye gaze [Jacob 1992]. In this paper, we assess the effectiveness of our approach in a controlled setting. We present two experiments that compare our eye gaze object selection technique with conventional selection by mouse. The results s...
متن کاملDesign of a Virtual Reality Based Adaptive Response Technology for Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder
Impairments in social communication skills are thought to be core deficits in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). In recent years, several assistive technologies, particularly Virtual Reality (VR), have been investigated to promote social interactions in this population. It is well-known that these children demonstrate atypical viewing patterns during social interactions and thus moni...
