Gaze-supported Remote Interaction

Description

An easy and efficient interaction with increasingly complex digital systems poses a central question for human-computer interaction. As digital systems become more and more ubiquituous, their shape, behavior, and handling differ significantly from traditional desktop workspace environments for which keyboard and mouse input devices and WIMP-interfaces have proved useful. In this respect, a trend goes towards large-sized wall displays, multitouch tables, and mobile input devices. More suitable interaction techniques (in terms of natural and yet efficient) for such diverse digital systems still need further investigation. In this respect, the consideration of a user’s visual perception poses a high potential for the interaction with large-sized displays (or multi-display environments), as it may reveal important hints about a user’s current visual attention. This enables a better and more directed information presentation at locations that are currently of interest to the user.

This project investigates the potential of gaze-supported interaction techniques in combination with additional input modalities for the interaction with remote (large-sized) displays. Particular challenges result from the collection and evaluation of precise gaze data in real-time for interaction purposes and an appropriate combination of input and output devices for a comfortable and efficient handling. In the scope of this project, we are particularly interested how such combinations may benefit from the consideration of a user’s visual attention as a secondary input channel.
