Recent years have witnessed the rapid boom of mobile devices interweaving with changes the epidemic has made to people's lives. Though a tremendous amount of novel human-device interaction techniques have been put forward to facilitate various audiences ...

Working in front of the computer for long periods of time leads to exhaustion, fatigue and high strain on the eyes. Often the natural eye blink activity is disturbed and the eyes do not form enough tears to stay moist. Computer workstations are usually ...

Text entry is an important and frequent task in interactive devices including augmented reality head-mounted displays (AR HMDs). In current AR HMDs, there are still two main open challenges to overcome for efficient and usable text entry: arm fatigue ...

This work presents mEBAL, a multimodal database for eye blink detection and attention level estimation. The eye blink frequency is related to the cognitive activity and automatic detectors of eye blinks have been proposed for many tasks including ...

This paper presents a novel multimodal interaction system that provides three modalities of human interaction to manage the supervision and control of a home automation system for people with limited physical mobility. The first one is based on a brain-...

As the day progresses, cognitive functions are subject to fluctuations. While the circadian process results in diurnal peaks and drops, the homeostatic process manifests itself in a steady decline of alertness across the day. Awareness of these changes ...

This paper examines an analysis and measurement method that to aim to involve incorporating eye motion and eye blink as functions of an eye-based human-computer interface. Proposed method has been achieved by analysing the visible-light images captured ...

Cognitive neuroscience is being widely explored to develop more interactive brain computer interfaces for control applications. An attempt has been made to translate a cognitive activity (deliberate eye blink) of human subjects captured via ...

The tracking of cognitive and physical activity using a wearable device is an emerging research field. While several studies have been performed on large-scale activity tracking using a watch-type wearable device, large-scale activity tracking using an ...

Activity tracking using a wearable device is an emerging research field. Large-scale studies on activity tracking performed with eyewear-type wearable devices remains a challenging area owing to the negative effect such devices have on users' looks. To ...

We examined physiological responses to behavior of an Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) system during real driving. ACC is an example of automating a task that used to be performed by the user. In order to preserve the link between the user and an automated ...

Locomotion in Immersive Virtual Environments (IVEs) is one of the most basic interactions, while human walking is the most natural user-interface for this. Obviously, this technique is limited by the available physical space. Redirected Walking (RDW) ...

We propose a unique system that allows real-time adaption of video settings to a viewer's physical state. A custom made program toggles between videos according to the average eye blink frequency of each viewer. The physical data is harnessed with J!NS ...

Human-computer interaction systems that use eye blinks have been reported. One purpose of these systems is as a communication aid for persons with severe physical disabilities such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis ALS. Some of these systems classify the ...

We introduce a study investigating the impact of high frame rate videos on viewer's eye blink frequency. A series of videos with varying combinations of motion complexities and frame rates were shown to participants, while their eye blinks were counted ...

Human startle reflex has been identified as a valid physiological measure of valence and arousal, providing a useful mechanism for evaluating player engagement in video games. In this research, we use electromyography (EMG) recording of the startle ...

Using cameras mounted near the eyes, the proposed system extracts information about blink patterns to estimate cognitive and perceptual loads and detect task transitions. Preliminary results pave the way for always-on wearable computing interfaces that ...

In this paper we propose a new alert system which precisely times dialog events depending on blinks. We hypothesize that during blinks human reaction time is significantly increased and by putting an intentional delay before alerts, the whole reaction ...

Recognizing users' cognitive load during tasks is among the most important considerations for adaptive automation and interface evaluation. This paper compares four methods of measuring user cognitive load, that is, subjective rating of task difficulty, ...
