Subject: Eye Tracking Symposium 2000 deadline extension
Greetings,
This is an announcement of a deadline extension for submission of full
papers to the Eye Tracking Research & Applications Symposium 2000. Due
to numerous requests regarding conflicts with academic semester endings
and other events, the submission deadline has been extended to May 29.
For those who have already prepared a paper, and still wish to submit
by the original deadline of May 8, please do so. Please submit your
full paper (8 pages max following the SIGGRAPH paper format) to
andrewd@cs.clemson.edu.
For those who have already submitted a paper, please note that the date of
acceptance/rejections notices has been moved to July 7.
The symposium (November 6-8, 2000, Palm Beach Gardens, FL, USA) will be a
focused gathering on various topics related to the development and use of
eye trackers in research and in applied study. A description of the symposium
follows and can also be found on the web here:

For those who have already visited the website, PLEASE REVISIT THE WEB PAGE
FOR UPDATED DISCOUNTED TRAVEL INFORMATION (found in the General section
towards the bottom of the page; text version of the symposium flyer is
included below).
Thank you,
Andrew Duchowski

Motivation
Recent advancements in eye tracking technology, specifically the availability of cheaper, faster, more accurate and easier to use trackers, have inspired increased eye movement and eye tracking research efforts. Last year's SIGCHI'99 conference contained several eye tracking-related research papers as well as a workshop dedicated to eye movement research in the context of usability studies. Due to this heightened level of interest and activity, it appears conditions are favorable for the organization of a symposium specifically for the discussion of theoretical and applied eye movement research issues. Thus the reason for the Eye Tracking Research & Applications Symposium. It is hoped this Symposium will foster new, possibly interdisciplinary, collaborative ties as well as provide a venue for dissemination of peer-reviewed research results in this burgeoning research area.
Symposium Scope
The scope of the Symposium falls within a fairly narrow human-computer interaction domain, yet it spans a vast range of interdisciplinary research activities. There are at least three broad interdisciplinary domains that stand to benefit from eye tracking research: visual perception, human-computer interaction, and computer graphics. The amalgamation of these topics forms a symbiotic relationship. Graphical techniques provide a means of generating rich sets of visual stimuli ranging from 2D imagery to 3D immersive virtual worlds while research exploring visual attention and perception influences the generation of artificial scenes and worlds. Applications derived from these disciplines create a powerful human-computer interaction modality, namely interaction based on knowledge of the user's gaze.
Applied papers reporting on eye tracking systems are sought falling in two main categories: (a) real-time interactive systems, and (b) off-line diagnostic applications. Examples of the former include applications where the display or form of interaction depends on real-time knowledge of the user's direction of gaze, e.g., ``gaze-contingent'' interactive environments. Applications falling in the latter category involve recording real-time eye movements over a visual stimulus for later off-line analysis, e.g., gaze information supporting usability studies.
While the Eye Tracking Symposium is primarily directed towards eye tracking applications, papers on theoretical aspects of eye movements and cognition are also encouraged. Examples may include papers elucidating the neurological substrate of human vision, visual attention, and eye movements, or papers suggesting techniques for characterization and automatic identification of eye movements, e.g., saccade detection.
Suggested top-level paper categories include:
* Principles: neurological basis for eye movements; eye movement signal characteristics * Methods: eye movement characterization (e.g., saccade detection) * Systems: description of applied eye tracking systems, e.g., o Real-time interactive systems, e.g., + systems helping people with profound disabilities + gaze-aware communication and gaze-contingent graphics systems o Off-line diagnostic systems, e.g., + eye tracking systems supporting usability studies + scanpath recording systems for eye movement analysis
Symposium Format
* Formal presentations: Presentations will be short (about 20 minutes) and limited to 3 per session. * Software demonstrations: We encourage software demonstrations by providing a structured session during which groups will rotate between coordinated (and prepared) software demonstrations. * Pre-symposium information and education: Abstracts, email and web addresses of contributors and participants will be made available before the event.
