Texas State University researchers have developed ocular biometric software
that can be used in the medical field to identify eye movements associated
with concussions and traumatic brain injury patients. The software also can
be applied to human-computer interaction research because it can calibrate
where a user's eyes are looking on a computer screen. The researchers tested
the software using a game. During the game, users must first allow the
software to record and calculate their eye movements as they watch a computer
screen. The software recognizes where the user's line of sight is directed
and signals an input command so the game can be played using only the eyes.
The researchers say they also created hardware platforms for eye-data
collection and analysis at lower costs than commercially available systems.
Although eye-tracking technology can cost thousands of dollars, the
researchers created iris-recognition devices from $20 Webcams, notes Texas
State professor Oleg Komogortsev.
