- Workshop: September 13, 2014

VISION AND GOALS
Despite considerable advances over the last decades, previous work on
eye tracking and eye-based human-computer interfaces mainly developed
use of the eyes in traditional desktop settings. Latest developments
in remote and headmounted eye tracking equipment and automated eye
movement analysis point the way toward unobtrusive eye-based
human-computer interfaces that will become pervasively usable in
everyday life. With the growth of interest in smart glass devices and
low-cost eye trackers, gaze-based techniques for mobile computing is
becoming increasingly important in recent years. We call this new
paradigm pervasive eye tracking ・continuous eye monitoring and
analysis 24/7.

The potential applications for the ability to track and analyse eye
movements anywhere and any time call for new research to further
develop and understand visual behaviour and eyebased interaction in
daily life settings. PETMEI 2014 will focus on pervasive eye tracking
as a trailblazer for mobile eye-based interaction and eye-based
context-awareness. We provide a forum for researchers from
human-computer interaction, context-aware computing, egocentric
computer vision and eye tracking to discuss techniques and
applications that go beyond classical eye tracking and stationary
eye-based interaction. We want to stimulate and explore the creativity
of these communities with respect to the implications, key research
challenges, and new applications for pervasive eye tracking in
ubiquitous computing. The long-term goal is to create a strong
interdisciplinary research community linking these fields together and
to establish the workshop as the premier forum for research on
pervasive eye tracking.

TOPICS
Topics of interest cover computational methods, new applications and
use cases, as well as eye tracking technology for pervasive eye
tracking and mobile eye-based interaction. Topics of interest include,
but are not limited to:

Methods
We invite participants to reflect on the specific characteristics of
pervasive eye tracking systems and to contrast them with classical
methods for eye tracking, eye movement analysis, eye-based
interaction, and evaluation. We welcome contributions reporting on
methodological advances on all components of mobile eye tracking
systems, and the workshop will also cover latest technological
advances in mobile eye tracking equipment.
- Eye tracking technologies for mobile devices
- Tools for face, eye detection and tracking
- Gaze and eye movement analysis methods
- Integration of pervasive eye tracking and context-aware computing
- Multi-modal sensor fusion
- User studies on pervasive eye tracking
- Devices for portable, wearable and ambient eye tracking

Applications
In addition to contributions reporting on methodological advances we
also want to attract submissions that explore innovative applications
of pervasive eye tracking and mobile eye-based interaction. We also
want to particularly invite presentations on research on egocentric
vision systems and gazerelated computer vision applications that can
potentially extend the possibility of current mobile gaze interaction.
- Pervasive eye-based interaction
- Mobile attentive user interfaces
- Eye-based activity and context recognition
- Security and privacy for pervasive eye-tracking systems
- Eye tracking for specialized application areas
- Eye-based human-robot and human-agent interaction
- Cognition-aware systems and user interfaces
- Human factors in mobile eye-based interaction
- Egocentric computer-vision systems and applications

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Prospective authors should submit papers with a length of 6-12 pages
in the SIGCHI non-archival (Extended Abstracts) format. In addition to
research papers we explicitly invite submissions of position papers
and papers that describe preliminary results or work-in-progress.
Manuscripts will be reviewed by at least two reviewers. Accepted
papers will be published in the UbiComp 2014 adjunct proceedings.
