Eyes for Information, Communication, and Understanding

Description du projet

Zoom sur l’interaction du regard pour les technologies inclusives

Les chercheurs s’intéressent de plus près au regard, un canal de communication essentiel qui joue un rôle important dans l’interaction humaine. Avec le soutien du programme Actions Marie Skłodowska Curie, le projet Eyes4ICU entend développer de nouvelles formes d’interaction du regard pour des technologies universelles inclusives. Le projet est basé sur la conception que le regard est un canal de communication critique qui peut être capturé à distance et peut fonctionner sans langage. Eyes4ICU explorera les fondements cognitifs et affectifs de l’interaction du regard, ce qui permettra d’élaborer de meilleurs modèles pour prévoir le comportement de l’utilisateur et améliorer son expérience. Le projet est divisé en trois volets de travail, axés sur la compréhension des utilisateurs, la communication par le regard et les applications dans le monde réel.

Objectif

Gaze is an important communication channel to be captured remotely which works even without language. It thus holds great potential for universal inclusive technologies. Eyes for information, communication, and understanding (Eyes4ICU) explores novel forms of gaze interaction that rely on current psychological theories and findings, computational modeling, as well as expertise in highly promising application domains. Its approach of developing inclusive technology by tracing gaze interaction back to its cognitive and affective foundations (a psychological challenge) results in better models to predict user behavior (a computational challenge). By integrating insights in application fields, gaze-based interaction can be employed in the wild. Accordingly, the proposed research is divided into three work packages, namely Understanding Users (WP1), Gaze Communication (WP2), and In The Wild (WP3). All three work packages are pursued from three different perspectives: a psychological empirical perspective, a computational modeling perspective, and an application perspective, ensuring a unified and aligned progress and concept. Along these lines, training is also divided into three packages of Empirical Research Methods (WP4), Computational Modeling (WP5), and Transferable Skills (WP6). Consequently, the consortium is composed of groups working in psychological, computing, and application fields. All Beneficiaries are experts in using eye tracking in their respective areas ensuring best practices and optimal facilities for research and training. A variety of Associated Partners from the whole chain of eye tracking services ensures for applicability, practical relevance, and career opportunities by contributing to supervision, training, and research. This will advance communication by eye tracking as a field and result in European standards for gaze-based communication in a variety of domains disseminated through research and application.
