Web camera based Eye tracking and Head tracking ADE CMPT480 Term Project Yichen Dang Nov 28,2012
Why my ADE is important • For me: • Introduce a technology for painting without hands requirement • Deeper understanding of eye tracking and head tracking fields • For the field of accessibility: • Help with people who has difficulties in moving hands • Introduce technologies that are cheap and require least accommodation from users
Background • In 1800s, initial methods for tracking the location of eye and head involving direct mechanical contact with the head or eyes. • In the 1940s, Shackel and Mackworthdeveloped the concept of head-mounted eye tracking systems. • In the 1970s, Monty discovered that multiple reflections from the eye can be used to dissociate eye rotations frees eye tracking from head movement
Background • In recent years, infrared or near infrared camera based systems to detect eye movements are introduced. • Lately, more advanced software to perform eye-tracking and head-tracking control have been introduced, which only require a web camera and can work under normal lighting rather than infrared lighting environment
Project Milestones - Design • Read more materials about eye tracking and head tracking technology • Go over existing user lab ADEs, and create a structure for my ADE • Introduction • Video • What to Do • What to Hand In
Project Milestones - Construct • Create introduction section of my ADE • Search good ADE videos • Search good software • Create instruction on software download, installation, and configuration • Developing activities in my ADE • Create questions
Project Milestones – User testing • Find users to test ADE • Conduct user testing • Analyse users’ feedback • Improve my ADE based on users’ feedback • Problems • Finding a user with disability in hands movement to test my ADE • Creating a web page
Result • A Web camera based Eye tracking and Head tracking ADE • http://homepage.usask.ca/~yid484/WebCameraBasedEyeTrackingAndHeadTrackingADE.html
Head Tracking Software Demo • In- class Demo
Evaluation Goal • Test whether my ADE is informative • Test whether the eye tracking and head-tracking software is effective • Test whether the eye tracking and head-tracking software is easy to use • Test whether the eye tracking and head-tracking software is efficient
Evaluation • Evaluation process: • Pre Session questions • Task Session • Post Session questions • 5 Participants with different characteristics
Result and Analysis Descriptive data • Before experience ADE, most of my participants think the eye-tracking and head-tracking require using special functional devices • For question that to describe situations where eye-tracking and head-tracking are useful, after experience my ADE, all participants mentions some or all tasks that they have preformed in my ADE. • Two participants suggest more videos should be included in my ADE. • One participant suggest more history information should be included in my ADE.
Result and Analysis Quantitate Data • The average rate of uses’ expectation has been met by my ADE is 6.2/7 • The average rate of ease of use for head-tracking software is 6.2/7 • The average rate of ease of use for eye-tracking software is 4.4/7 • The average rate for head-tracking video is 6 • The average rate for eye-tracking video is 6.4
Result and Analysis Quantitate Data • The average number of head-tracking related questions that are answered correctly is 90% • The average number of eye-tracking related questions that are answered correctly is 65% • The average time spent on performing head-tracking related tasks is 4.8minutes. • The average time spent on performing eye-tracking related tasks is 4.4 minutes.
Improvements • Provide a more detailed instruction for eye-tracking related task, especially for the calibration part. • In introduction section of my ADE, mentions that eye tracking and head tracking helps with people who have difficulties in moving hands or fingers, interact with computers. • Add an Additional Information and videos section in my ADE to provide optional history information and more videos
Conclusion and Recommendations • Good enough to be used • Further improvement • Further use
