EyeTab: Model-based gaze estimation on unmodified tablet computers
Abstract
Despite the widespread use of mobile phones and tablets, hand-held portable devices were only recently identified as a promising platform for gaze-aware applications. Estimating gaze on portable devices is challenging given the limited computational resources, the low quality of the integrated front-facing RGB camera, and the small screen to which gaze is mapped. In this paper we present EyeTab, a model-based approach for binocular gaze estimation that runs entirely on an unmodified tablet. EyeTab builds on set of established image processing and computer vision algorithms and adapts them for robust and near-realtime gaze estimation. A technical prototype evaluation with eight participants in a normal indoors office setting shows that EyeTab achieves an average gaze estimation accuracy of 6.88° of visual angle at 12 frames per second.
