Done frequently, this can become a tedious and fatiguing task, especially for tablets where users physically employ a stylus or finger touch. As our eyes are naturally involved in visual search and acquisition of desired menu items, we propose gaze to shortcut the physical movement. We investigate gaze-based mode-switching for menus in tablets by a novel mode-switching methodology, assessing a gaze-only (dwell-time) and multimodal (gaze and tap) technique, compared to hand-based interaction. The results suggest that users can efficiently alternate between manual and eye input when interacting with the menu; both gaze-based techniques have lower physical demand and individual speed-error trade-offs. This led to a novel technique that substantially reduces time by unifying mode-selection and mode-application. Our work points to new roles for our eyes to efficiently short-cut menu actions during the workflow.","PeriodicalId":263409,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2023 Symposium on Eye Tracking Research and Applications","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125137803","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Eye movement patterns reflect this dynamic application of high-level information.

To measure cognitive workload, researchers have developed tools such as the wavelet analysis-based index of cognitive activity (ICA) and index of pupil activity (IPA). However, it is still unclear whether these tools can accurately measure workload during motor tasks. This study aims to investigate whether the IPA can differentiate task workload during a motor task involving aiming in a tele-operation setting, where the task requirements were quantified using Fitts’ index of difficulty(ID) based on target size and distance. The study found that the IPA can differentiate between different levels of motor task workload, provided the proper window is used, namely the period before the tool touches the targets. This finding is significant as it can aid in developing objective methods to evaluate task workload using pupil parameters during goal-directed movements.","PeriodicalId":263409,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2023 Symposium on Eye Tracking Research and Applications","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128604230","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we reanalyze how eye-related information affected the detection performance of a previous study to develop better intent detection systems in the future. Specifically, we analyzed two aspects of dimensionality reduction and adaptation to different tasks. The results showed that saccade and fixation are not always useful, and the direction of gaze movement could potentially cause overfitting.","PeriodicalId":263409,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2023 Symposium on Eye Tracking Research and Applications","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129640954","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recently, low-power alternatives such as photosensors have been evaluated, providing gaze estimates at high frequency with a trade-off in accuracy and robustness. Potentially, an approach combining slow/high-fidelity and fast/low-fidelity sensors should be able to exploit their complementarity to track fast eye motion accurately and robustly. To foster research on this topic, we introduce OpenSFEDS, a near-eye gaze estimation dataset containing approximately 2M synthetic camera-photosensor image pairs sampled at 500 Hz under varied appearance and camera position. We also formulate the task of sensor fusion for gaze estimation, proposing a deep learning framework consisting in appearance-based encoding and temporal eye-state dynamics. We evaluate several single- and multi-rate fusion baselines on OpenSFEDS, achieving 8.7% error decrease when tracking fast eye movements with a multi-rate approach vs. a gaze forecasting approach operating with a low-speed sensor alone.","PeriodicalId":263409,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2023 Symposium on Eye Tracking Research and Applications","volume":"67 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131122521","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The current study applies individual time sensitive and emotional ideas to quantify visuo-spatial biases in a stimulus-free laboratory setting. We observe a strong visual bias across all experimental conditions supporting earlier assumptions of a screen center or motor bias. The tendency towards the center was particular evident during trials that lack any specific assignment. A time-sensitive differentiation of eye movements with regards to memory and anticipation tasks could not be recorded. Also, pupil diameter indicated no relationship between changes in bodily arousal and spontaneous fixation behavior. In addition, we replicate a strong left side gaze asymmetry that is interwoven with the center bias featuring spontaneous fixations to mainly cluster left from the screen center.","PeriodicalId":263409,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2023 Symposium on Eye Tracking Research and Applications","volume":"155 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115380844","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
