Abstract

Researchers have long been interested in the role of eye gaze in human machine interaction. It has been used as a pointing mechanism in direct manipulation interfaces, for example, to assist users with "locked-in syndrome". It has also been used to reflect information needs in web search and tailor information presentation. Based on joint attention indicated by eye gaze, it has been used as a facilitator in computer supported human-human communication. In conversational interfaces, eye gaze has been used to improve language understanding and intention recognition. It has also been incorporated in multimodal behavior of embodied conversational agents. Recent work on human robot interaction has further explored eye gaze in incremental language processing, visual scene processing, and conversation engagement and grounding. Given the recent advances in eye tracking technology and the availability of non-intrusive and high performance eye tracking devices, there has never been a better time to explore new opportunities to incorporate eye gaze in intelligent and natural human machine communication.

This workshop brought researchers from academia and industry together to share recent advances and discuss research directions and opportunities for next generation of human machine interaction that incorporate eye gaze. The workshop program consists of nineteen papers addressing a range of interesting topics from applications of tracking user eye gaze in human machine conversation to automatic control of gaze behaviors in artificial agents.

Quantitative study of geological target spotting with the use of eye tracking

In this paper we describe the use of eye tracking to quantitatively evaluate and analyse the variations in data interpretation performed by various geoscientists, measuring this against their ability to spot geological targets. We also describe an ...

Eye-gaze interfaces using electro-oculography (EOG)

Using electro-oculography (EOG), two types of eye-gaze interfaces have been developed; "EOG Pointer" and "EOG Switch". The former enables a user to move a computer cursor or to control a machine using only eye-gaze, regardless of drifting signal and ...

An empirical study of eye-gaze behaviors: towards the estimation of conversational engagement in human-agent communication

In face-to-face conversations, speakers are continuously checking whether the listener is engaged in the conversation by monitoring the partner's eye-gaze behaviors. In this study, focusing on eye-gaze as information of estimating user's conversational ...

Robust pupil detection for gaze-based user interface

Eye tracker has the potential to play an assistive role in human computer interaction. However, the operation is easily hindered by excessive corneal reflection and noise which prevent correct detection and precise localization of the pupil. In this ...

Mutual information as a variable to differentiate the roles of gaze in the multimodal interface

In natural interaction, gaze assumes a variety of roles that may need distinguishing between in a gaze-contingent interface. Information from other modalities has potential to make distinction easier. In this study, Mutual Information (MI) is proposed ...

Integrating domain knowledge with user eye gaze in automated word acquisition for conversational interfaces

Most conversation systems tend to fail when unexpected words are encountered. To overcome this problem, conversational systems must be able to learn new words automatically during human machine conversation. Motivated by psycholinguistic findings on eye ...
