Introducing gaze input
Now, something completely different: Neovisus gaze user interface
The techique behind this application is simple, and tried-and-true, IR leds meets eyes trick and couples it with rather fawless looking software.
The idea is to shine IR light to persons eyes, catch the reflection with camera without IR filter, and preferably with visible light filter, so that the image processing software is left with two neat blobls to work it’s magic. I’ve seen this same technique used with a TV. which stops the stream it’s playing when you’re not looking at it, sadly I don’t have any video of the application.
In any case, it’s nice to see the huge bounds and leaps user interfaces are getting nowdays.
