This paper presents a method for computing the gaze point using camera data captured with a wearable gaze tracking device. The method utilizes a physical model of the human eye, advanced Bayesian computer vision algorithms, and Kalman filtering, resulting in high accuracy and low noise. Our C++ implementation can process camera streams with 30 frames per second in realtime. The performance of the system is validated in an exhaustive experimental setup with 19 participants, using a self-made device. Due to the used eye model and binocular cameras, the system is accurate for all distances and invariant to device movement. We also test our system against a best-in-class commercial device which is outperformed for spatial accuracy and precision. The software and hardware instructions as well as the experimental data are published as open source.

Studying attention to IPCC climate change maps with mobile eye-tracking.

PLoS One

Many visualisations used in the climate communication field aim to present the scientific models of climate change to the public. However, relatively little research has been conducted on how such data are visually processed, particularly from a behavioural science perspective. This study examines trends in visual attention to climate change predictions in world maps using mobile eye-tracking while participants engage with the visualisations.

Explicit metrics for implicit emotions: investigating physiological and gaze indices of learner emotions.

Front Psychol

Departent of Learning, Data-Analytics and Technology, Faculty of Behavioural, Management and Social Sciences, University of Twente, Enschede, Netherlands.

Learning experiences are intertwined with emotions, which in turn have a significant effect on learning outcomes. Therefore, digital learning environments can benefit from taking the emotional state of the learner into account. To do so, the first step is real-time emotion detection which is made possible by sensors that can continuously collect physiological and eye-tracking data.

Introduction: In rehabilitation practices, expert therapists are believed to proficiently observe and assist patients. However, limited research has quantified the gaze behaviors of physical therapists during patient support. This study investigated the gaze patterns of expert and novice physical therapists from a first-person perspective during the process of assisting collaborators to stand.

The hospital gown is a particularly charged article of clothing. For the chronically ill and disabled, the ritual of donning the gown signals a change of identity from "person" to "patient." This essay chronicles the metamorphosis of a standard hospital gown into a work of wearable art that showcases the glittering pregnant body.

Article Synopsis
  • The study examines a sensor-based eHealth treatment for pediatric obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), highlighting its potential to provide therapy in home settings and collect data on patients' emotional and physical states.
  • It involved 20 adolescents undergoing 14 video sessions of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), using various sensors to track eye movements, heart rate, and behavior patterns during treatment.
  • Results showed high participant satisfaction with this approach, improved therapeutic relationships, and a reduction in OCD symptoms, alongside a discussion of important factors for implementing sensor-supported therapy for young patients.
