Weak gaze awareness in video-mediated communication

Published:02 April 2005Publication History

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.
