Making Optical See-Through Head-Mounted Displays a Commodity Through Eye Tracking
Optical See-Through Head-Mounted Displays (OSTHMDs) are envisioned as a replacement of mobile phones, introducing augmented reality to all aspects of our lives, anytime, anywhere. Despite their potential, these devices are still far away from fulfilling this vision due to various limitations, such as weight, rendering quality, or computations capabilities. To address these problems, we must consider the essential role our eyes play when experiencing augmented reality on an OSTHMD. They provide information our intent, interest and perception of the virtual content and the real world. In this talk, I will discuss how eye tracking can assist in overcoming these hurdles and bringing OSTHMDs closer to becoming a commodity device.
Alexander Plopski is a Postdoctoral Fellow at the HCI group where he is working with Assoc. Prof. Tobias Langlotz. Before coming to Dunedin he worked as an Assistant Professor at the Interactive Media Design Lab at the Nara Institute of Science and Technology (NAIST), Japan. He received his BSc. and MSc. Informatics at the Technical University of Munich, Germany, in 2010 and 2012, respectively. In 2016 he completed his PhD in Information Science and Technology at the Osaka University, Japan, and joined NAIST in April 2016. His research interests are computer vision, eye tracking, augmented, mixed, and virtual reality.
