Using Eye-Tracking for Enhancing the Museum Visit Experience

A smart context-aware mobile guide may provide the visitor with personalized relevant information from the vast amount of content available at the museum, adapted for his or her personal needs. Earlier studies relied on using sensors for location-awareness and interest detection. This work explores the potential of mobile eye-tracking and vision technology in enhancing the museum visit experience. We report here on satisfactory preliminary results from examining the performance of a mobile eye tracker in a realistic setting.
