Unfortunately, the inherently public nature of these public displays makes them unsuitable for displaying sensitive information. We present EyeGuide, a wearable system that allows the user to obtain information quickly from a public display without sacrificing privacy. To this end, EyeGuide employs a lightweight head-worn eye-tracker for hands-free object selection and an earphone for private communication. Our system supports public displays that are dynamic (e.g., a large plasma screen) and static (e.g., a large printed map). In our printed map scenario, EyeGuide whispers verbal directions via earphone to a user, based on where they are looking on the map. Using a technique we call \"gaze steering,\" the system guides the user's eye position to specific locations. In our dynamic public display scenarios, EyeGuide presents documents (e.g., maps) that contain sensitive data in a way that preserves privacy.","PeriodicalId":407425,"journal":{"name":"Eighth International Symposium on Wearable Computers","volume":"99 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124087030","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 goal of the techniques is to quickly and accurately annotate distant physical objects not yet represented in the computer's model of the scene. To this end, we present a new method for judging virtual object distance. Using virtual depth cues, the user can accurately judge depth values without having to resort to near-field-only cues such as stereo vision and parallax. To place new annotations, we need to position a virtual 3D cursor accurately relative to known landmarks. We develop four techniques for controlling this cursor and conducted a user study on the relative efficiency of these techniques.","PeriodicalId":407425,"journal":{"name":"Eighth International Symposium on Wearable Computers","volume":"154 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134003225","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}

To realize applications of wearable computers like a navigation system, the position of a user is required for location-based services. Many localization methods in indoor environments have been proposed. One of the methods estimates user's position using IR beacons or visual markers. However, these methods have problems of power supply and/or undesirable visual effects. In order to avoid the problems, we propose a new localization method which is based on using an IR camera and discreet markers consisting of translucent retro-reflectors. In the proposed method, to extract the regions of the markers from the captured images stably, the camera captures the reflection of IR LEDs which are flashed on and off synchronously.","PeriodicalId":407425,"journal":{"name":"Eighth International Symposium on Wearable Computers","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127745065","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}
