Overview
The upcoming OpenEDS workshop on Eye Tracking for VR and AR is scheduled to take place on November 2, 2019, at the COEX Convention Center in Seoul, South Korea, in conjunction with ICCV 2019. This workshop aims to bring together researchers and practitioners to discuss the significance of eye-tracking technologies in enhancing virtual and augmented reality experiences.
Background & Relevance
Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) technologies have gained substantial traction, particularly in the gaming sector. However, to achieve widespread acceptance, innovations in user comfort, utility, and performance are essential. Eye tracking plays a pivotal role in this evolution, allowing for enhanced user interaction and experience by monitoring gaze direction and pupil movement. This workshop seeks to explore how eye-tracking can be effectively integrated into VR and AR applications, addressing challenges such as user variability and environmental conditions.
