13 Proposal due (paper in conference format, everything prior to results)
  • SIGGRAPH Instructions for Authors (learning LaTeX is highly recommended)
  • read the acmart.cls manual

Topics:
  1. Reading: importance of eye movements in reading (vs. tachistoscopic studies)
  2. Scene perception: compare and contrast scene perception vs. reading
  3. Visual search: what is the consensus view of visual search, e.g., how does vision work in this task? Is performance task-dependent?
  4. Natural tasks: in what kinds of tasks have eye movements been recorded? What has been learned?
  5. Aviation: Where do pilots look? Why is it important?
  6. Driving: Where do drivers look?
  7. Visual inspection: what are the important eye movement metrics to record in this task?
  8. HCI: What's the difference between diganostic and interactive uses of eye trackers, i.e., how differently must the system respond?
  9. Gaze-Contingent Displays: What's the difference between the two different approaches (screen-based and model-based)?
