Implementing Gaze-corrected Videoconferencing
نویسندگان
چکیده
Lack of gaze awareness is a key failure that hinders the widespread acceptance of videoconferencing. GazeMaster is a project which attempts to provide a software solution to gaze awareness and eye contact. Previous publications have described the general approach of GazeMaster. This paper describes our implementation experience, giving more details of our software architecture, and explaining our approach to head modeling. Our results with respect to video, graphics, and networking are solid. Our computer vision technology, while promising, is still immature, and requires further research.

متن کاملImplementing Eye-to-Eye Contact in Life-Sized Videoconferencing
Videoconferencing systems available for end users do not allow for eye-to-eye contact between participants, also known as a lack of mutual gaze. The different locations of video camera and video display used for video conferencing makes it impossible to directly look into each other’s eyes. This, combined with a lack of a lifesized video image of the communication partner makes a videoconferenc...
متن کاملGaze Awareness for Video-Conferencing: A Software Approach
bringing gaze awareness to desktop videoconferencing have relied on hardware solutions. Here, the authors describe their software approach, which tracks participants’ head and eye movements using vision techniques, then uses this information to graphically place the head and eyes in a 3D environment. T he impact of gaze is striking. We all know the experience of “feeling watched,” and it’s hard...

In this paper, we present GColl, a group-to-group videoconferencing environment concept, which aims to provide a natural communication channel even for ad-hoc groups or other teams that require frequent changes in the number of participants or videoconferencing locations. GColl supports mutual gaze as well as partial gaze awareness for all participants while still retaining very modest technica...
