Basic and Oriented Research projects

Eye-Tracker: A cheap portable eye-tracker solution for ordinary webcams.

	Implementation of an eye-tracker software solution which works on common setups consisting of a processing device (computer, smart phone, etc.) and an ordinary webcam (or smart phone camera). The proposed system provides a cheap alternative for applications where commercial eye-trackers are infeasible. This project is developing the open software standard OpenGazer.

Visual interaction with digital objects for augmented information

	Gaze-based interaction for augmented information on digital documentes. Webcam eye-tracking allows to expand the potential of Google Glass-type devices. The interaction research here is based on the study of the visual triggers and its potential responses for the modification of the multimedia items enriching the informative experience. This project has been granted with the Google Academy Award.
