  1. Video Pupillary Tracking Systemsas a Method for Interfacing Jesse McVaney BME 281 – Oct 23,2012

  2. History • 1879: Louis Emile Javal – observes eye movement during reading. - Edmund Huey creates early eye tracker • 1970: Hunziker creates video/glass technique to track eye movement. • 2000’s: Open Source software and inexpensive parts allow for inexpensive video trackers

  4. Video Pupillary Technique Output Signal Software Micro controller/ Micro processor Infrared light Collector Diode & Camera Emitter Diode

  5. The output signal form the software is interpreted as a coordinate system. • The camera must be calibrated using a dot array on a computer screen (Abbott & Faisal) • This method allows for eye tracking to interface with computer equipment.

  6. Tobii X60 Eyetracker GT3D Tracker

  7. Advantages • Non- Invasive • Little to no training • Small and portable • Fast information rate • Parts are relatively inexpensive.

  8. EEG Brain interface : 1.63 bits/sec • Cortical invasive interface : 3.3 bits/sec • EMG/speech recognition : 6.13 bits/sec • Video Eye Tracking: 1100 bits/sec

  9. Uses • Due to its high sample rate, eye tracking could be used to more easily control prosthetics. • Control Equipment such as machinery/ wheel chairs • Interface with computers for web browsing/ word/image processing, etc. • Research and Marketing

  10. Future • Cost reduced • Computer interfacing not just for disabled • Smaller, more portable units • Better controls for non 2D interfacing
