Sommario
On December 12th, 2023 at 11.00 am Andrew T. Duchowski, Professor and Chair of Visual Computing at Clemson University, will hold a seminar on "Eye Tracking in the Everyday World: Context-Sensitive and Context-Free Eye Tracking" in DEIB Alpha Room (Building 24).
Since its resurgence in 2000 and its eventual entry into the mainstream, eye tracking research and technology has advanced significantly. Early development rested on fundamental signal processing techniques devised to distinguish fixations from saccades. These basic first-order filtering methods are barely sufficient in today’s increasingly complex environments. What is required for advancement of the field are novel analytical tools for real-time or in vestigio (moment-to-moment) event detection where events are composed of fixations, saccades (and possibly microsaccades and glissades or glances), pursuits, vergence, and vestibulo-ocular response. Moreover, second-order metrics such as the K coefficient and gaze entropy are advocated for potential continuous monitoring of gaze biometrics.
While there is no envisioned so-called killer app, gaze biometric monitoring can be classified into context-sensitive and context-free approaches, where the everyday world context is either taken into account or ignored, respectively.

Biografia
Dr. Duchowski is Professor and Chair of Visual Computing at Clemson University.
He received his baccalaureate (1990) from Simon Fraser University, Burnaby, Canada, and doctorate (1997) from Texas A&M University, College Station, TX, both in Computer Science. His research and teaching interests include visual attention and perception, eye tracking, computer vision, and computer graphics. He joined the School of Computing faculty at Clemson in January, 1998. He has since produced a corpus of publications and monograph related to eye tracking research, and has delivered courses and seminars on the subject at international conferences. He maintains Clemson's eye tracking laboratory, and teaches a regular course on eye tracking methodology attracting students from a variety of disciplines across campus.
