Did anyone see "Bang Goes the Theory" on BBC this week?
Heres the link:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/…Really interesting bit about the Eye Tracking stuff at Edinburgh Uni where they show the presenter a photo of a street scene and ask him to say when he sees things changing in the photo.
He only notices a couple of little changes.
Then afterwards the guy shows him the timeline of everything that they did change while he was looking at the image and it was major stuff like people dissapearing, top halfs of buildings dissapearing and things changing colour.
The way your eyes work when looking at something is to dart about and take in different areas at a time, inbetween this darting your eyes switch off.
So they were using eye tracking technology to see where he was looking at the pic then changing something when they knew his eyes were switched off.Thought this was interesting being a web designer. That maybe something similar could be done online, obviously without the tracking hardware, but say you had something happen inthe bottom left corner of the screen to grab someones attention then you could change something else elsewhere on the page without the person noticing.
Just thought "eye'd" share.

It's like 9/11 all over.

very cool. Reminds me of the "spot the gorilla video"

I miss the eye control focus of the EOS film bodies. So cool how they focus on what you are looking when you half press the shutter.
Eye tracking is cool.

This is cool stuff, but I dont even think this is as impressive as that thing they're making for the xbox 360 called natal. That thing not only reads your eyes, but your expressions, and all of your body movements.
