ABSTRACT
We present a video mediated communication system that conveys gaze information to a remote location. Unlike existing video mediated communication system, this system does not send visual information directly, only gaze position and face direction. The appearance of those cues on the display depends on the distance between the screen and the user's eyes, which allows the user to control the appearance of her gaze. Face direction is represented as a still image, which changes when the user's gaze position moves. With this system, people are able to transfer visual cues without becoming self-conscious about their face.

Gaze perception and awareness in smart devices
Eye contact and gaze awareness play a significant role for conveying emotions and intentions during face-to-face conversation. Humans can perceive each other's gaze quite naturally and accurately. However, the gaze awareness/perception are ambiguous ...
Gaze awareness improves collaboration efficiency in a collaborative assembly task
ETRA '19: Proceedings of the 11th ACM Symposium on Eye Tracking Research & ApplicationsIn building human robot interaction systems, it would be helpful to understand how humans collaborate, and in particular, how humans use others' gaze behavior to estimate their intent. Here we studied the use of gaze in a collaborative assembly task, ...
A Preliminary Study on Eye Contact Framework Toward Improving Gaze Awareness in Video Conferences
Human-Computer InteractionAbstractGaze information plays an important role as non-verbal information in face-to-face conversations. However, in online videoconferences, users’ gaze is perceived as misaligned due to the different positions of the screen and the camera. This problem ...
