Visiting Kati

2020-06-24T09:20:42Z

Curly: /* COGAIN 2005 */

[[Image:kati_side.jpg|thumb|Kati demonstrating how to write an email by gaze interaction.]]

[[Image:laughter.jpg|thumb|Kati and Mick having fun when trying out eye control]]

In 1998 Kari saw an article in a Finnish public magazine ([http://www.suomenkuvalehti.fi/lehti/2006/sk-52006-aiheet/katse-kertoo-kaiken.aspx Suomen Kuvalehti 13/1998]) that deeply touched him. It was a heartbreaking story about a young, beautiful woman -- Kati -- who suffered from the locked-in syndrome caused by a brainstem stroke. She communicated by eye movements. Kari immediately thought about the eye tracking device that had been purchased a couple of years earlier for research purposes: could it be used to help Kati?

A couple of years later, when Päivi joined the gaze research group, Kari showed the article to Päivi saying: "If we could help even one like her, it would be worth it." Päivi was eager to meet the challenge, but it was decided that we would proceed cautiously, without making promises before we really could suggest a solution in which we had enough confidence ourselves.

The story was still in our minds when COGAIN started. In the very first "real" COGAIN office meeting in the end of August 2004 Kari went to his bookshelf and gave the article to Stina. Stina did some detective work, and a few weeks later the three of us were heading towards Mikkeli to meet Kati.

We were really excited to meet her. During the three hour drive we discussed what we should say and how we should act. The nervousness soon disappeared when Kati's parents sincerely welcomed us. Kati sat in her wheelchair and welcomed us with her smiling eyes. She looked strikingly beautiful. It was not hard to believe that she had acted as an international model before the stroke.

Kati discussed with us by moving her eyes. Her mother acted as a human eye tracker, interpreting the eye movements letter by letter. Kati has a see-through communication board made of plexiglass, but she and her mother haven't needed it for a long time. They have memorized the locations of the letters; each letter has its position in the air. It was fascinating to see how Kati's mother was able to correct mistakes in the letter interpretation, and how she guessed the end of the word or the sentence, sometimes after just one or two letters -- the best intelligent word prediction system we have ever seen!

Kati has enough head movement control to be able to use a head tracker. The system tracks a small sticker in her forehead. She not only writes email and browses the Internet, but she is also writing a book. It should come out in 2006.

Kati uses her computer a lot but it doesn't help her when she is on the move. She expressed a desire to have a portable system that could be used anywhere. She loves to travel, and it would really help in communicating with other people. Currently, she relies on her personal interpreter: her mother. It makes Kati sad that people are often scared of communicating with her, and using the plexi-board is not that easy either.

She had an environmental control system attached to her bed but she wanted it to be removed because it was so ugly. "If you spend a lot of time at home, you want beautiful things around you."

We brought the Tobii eye tracking device and a laptop with us. Despite some demo effects in the beginning, Kati was able to try out iKey and Dasher. She laughed aloud, especially when the Finnish male synthesizer spoke what she had typed. Her mother asked if it would be possible to use Kati's own voice from the old home videos as a basis for the spoken feedback. This is already on COGAIN's to-do list, and the visit convinced us of the importance of this line of research.

Meeting Kati was an event we will cherish. She totally charmed us with her wonderful sense of humour and positive attitude. She gave us a lot of motivation, ideas and insights that will definitely benefit COGAIN. We agreed to stay in contact.

== COGAIN 2005 ==

Kati visited the [https://wiki.cogain.org/index.php/Photos_Camp2005 COGAIN 2005 event] in Copenhagen, tried out many systems and had a lot of fun with Mick and others.

Kati visited the Tampere team in May 2006 at the same time as the developers of [http://cyber.felk.cvut.cz/i4c/en_system.html i4Control] from CTU. The system could be used to remotely control a toy car: by looking up the toy car goes ahead, by looking left the car turns left, etc.

In early 2006, Kati released a book (in Finnish), called "Silmänräpäys" (Eng. "eye blink"), written by Kati Lepistö & Leeni Peltonen, published by [http://www.otava.fi Otava]. The book tells Kati's story. There is also a short section about Kati's involvement in COGAIN. The second author, journalist Leeni Peltonen, is the one who wrote the original article in Suomen Kuvalehti (13/1998) that touched us so deeply.

In 2019, Kati van der Hoeven (surname changed after Kati got married) released a book in English, called "Living Underwater: A true story of laughter, love, hope and happiness in the face of extreme adversity". The book is available via [https://www.amazon.com/Living-Underwater-laughter-happiness-adversity/dp/1911505637 Amazon.com]. COGAIN is briefly mentioned also in this new book.

More information about Kati and her life is available at '''[http://katilepisto.fi/en/ katilepisto.fi]'''. Check especially her [http://katilepisto.fi/en/blogi/ blog], which is available in several languages.

In 1998 Kari saw an article in a Finnish public magazine ([http://www.suomenkuvalehti.fi/lehti/2006/sk-52006-aiheet/katse-kertoo-kaiken.aspx Suomen Kuvalehti 13/1998]) that deeply touched him. It was a heartbreaking story about a young, beautiful woman -- Kati -- who suffered from the locked-in syndrome caused by a brainstem stroke. She communicated by eye movements. Kari immediately thought about the eye tracking device that had been purchased a couple of years earlier for research purposes: could it be used to help Kati?

A couple of years later, when Päivi joined the gaze research group, Kari showed the article to Päivi saying: "If we could help even one like her, it would be worth it." Päivi was eager to meet the challenge, but it was decided that we would proceed cautiously, without making promises before we really could suggest a solution in which we had enough confidence ourselves.

The story was still in our minds when COGAIN started. In the very first "real" COGAIN office meeting in the end of August 2004 Kari went to his bookshelf and gave the article to Stina. Stina did some detective work, and a few weeks later the three of us were heading towards Mikkeli to meet Kati.

We were really excited to meet her. During the three hour drive we discussed what we should say and how we should act. The nervousness soon disappeared when Kati's parents sincerely welcomed us. Kati sat in her wheelchair and welcomed us with her smiling eyes. She looked strikingly beautiful. It was not hard to believe that she had acted as an international model before the stroke.

Kati discussed with us by moving her eyes. Her mother acted as a human eye tracker, interpreting the eye movements letter by letter. Kati has a see-through communication board made of plexiglass, but she and her mother haven't needed it for a long time. They have memorized the locations of the letters; each letter has its position in the air. It was fascinating to see how Kati's mother was able to correct mistakes in the letter interpretation, and how she guessed the end of the word or the sentence, sometimes after just one or two letters -- the best intelligent word prediction system we have ever seen!

Kati has enough head movement control to be able to use a head tracker. The system tracks a small sticker in her forehead. She not only writes email and browses the Internet, but she is also writing a book. It should come out in 2006.

Kati uses her computer a lot but it doesn't help her when she is on the move. She expressed a desire to have a portable system that could be used anywhere. She loves to travel, and it would really help in communicating with other people. Currently, she relies on her personal interpreter: her mother. It makes Kati sad that people are often scared of communicating with her, and using the plexi-board is not that easy either.

She had an environmental control system attached to her bed but she wanted it to be removed because it was so ugly. "If you spend a lot of time at home, you want beautiful things around you."

We brought the Tobii eye tracking device and a laptop with us. Despite some demo effects in the beginning, Kati was able to try out iKey and Dasher. She laughed aloud, especially when the Finnish male synthesizer spoke what she had typed. Her mother asked if it would be possible to use Kati's own voice from the old home videos as a basis for the spoken feedback. This is already on COGAIN's to-do list, and the visit convinced us of the importance of this line of research.

Meeting Kati was an event we will cherish. She totally charmed us with her wonderful sense of humour and positive attitude. She gave us a lot of motivation, ideas and insights that will definitely benefit COGAIN. We agreed to stay in contact.

The book tells Kati's story. There is also a short section about Kati's involvement in COGAIN. The second author, journalist Leeni Peltonen, is the one who wrote the original article in Suomen Kuvalehti (13/1998) that touched us so deeply.

In 2019, Kati van der Hoeven (surname changed after Kati got married) released a book in English, called "Living Underwater: A true story of laughter, love, hope and happiness in the face of extreme adversity". The book is available via [https://www.amazon.com/Living-Underwater-laughter-happiness-adversity/dp/1911505637 Amazon.com]. COGAIN is briefly mentioned also in this new book.

The original COGAIN Work Package 3 (WP3) concentrated on User Involvement. The COGAIN project has ended but the COGAIN Association continues the work, as well as COGAIN partners in their own organizations.

COGAIN looks at what potential users want from an eye control system. People have individual needs and the systems must be flexible enough to accommodate them. We're working with people with various disabilities and levels of severity - and they're all helping us to see what improvements and developments are necessary.

=== Questionnaires on User Needs and the Physical Benefits of using an eye control system ===

An essential part of this project is to actively involve people with disabilities and those who support them in order to bring about improvements with this exciting new technology.

[[Image:COGAIN2006-Plenary_lets-try-lowtech2.jpg|thumb|Low-tech gaze-based communication aid, self made from cardboard. Photo (c) www.cogain.org]]

'''Low-tech eye pointing, cheap (self-made) gaze communication board, "first aid" solution for acute communication needs'''

'''Gaze Communication Board''' or '''Eye Communication Frame''' is a cheap, fast, easy-to-use eye communication method. There are several options that can be bought from stores that sell communication aids and assistive technology, such as the "E-tran (eye transfer) frame" illustrated below.

The gaze communication board is a see-through frame with letters or pictures on it. The board is placed between two people who want to have a conversation using the board. The board can either be attached on a table or wheelchair, or if one of the conversation partners is able-bodied, s/he can hold the board in front of the disabled person.

The communication board or frame can be made either from transparent plexi-glass, or it can also be made from cardboard with a big hole in the middle. In either case, it is important that the person on the other side can easily see the eye movements of the other person.

The disabled person then looks at one of the letters and the other person interprets her/his gaze direction and speaks out the letter to confirm. After confirmation, the next letter is interpreted similarly: one person looks at the letter and the other acts as a human "eye tracker" and interprets which letter the other person is pointing. Just like a computer-based eye tracking system, also here feedback (speaking out the letter) is important to confirm the selection and to allow error correction in case of a misinterpretation.

In the E-Tran frame, the letter are grouped into corners of the frame. Each letter in a group has different color coding. To select a letter, the user first looks at the letter (group) and then the color "button" that matches the color of the letter. Having the letters in such groups reduces errors, though the 2-step selection is a bit slower than direct pointing. It is a bit hard to interpret gaze direction accurately if the targets are small and close to each other, but it is very easy to see which one of the corners of the frame the gaze is pointed at.

== Self-Made Eye Gaze Frames ==

It is possible to make an eye communication frame from a card board (see the picture above). Below are two different versions of the eye gaze frame, with instructions for making them and printable templates for both.

=== Eye gaze frame 1 ===

[[Image:eye-gaze-frame-template1.jpg|thumb|picture of the eye gaze frame template 1]]

The idea for this frame came from Anette Dinesen (Tønsberg, Norway), thanks Anette! Instructions and a printable template for this eye gaze frame is available in two different formats:

* To download the eye gaze frame and the instructions in PDF format, [[File:DART-eye-gaze-frames-with-instructions.pdf|click here ]]
* To download a ZIP packet containing the frames in PowerPoint (ppt) format and the instructions in Microsoft Word (doc) format, [[File:DART-eye-gaze-frames-with-instructions.zip|click here]]

=== Eye gaze frame 2 ===

[[Image:eye-gaze-frame-template2.jpg|thumb|picture of the eye gaze frame template 2]]

This frame was made by Helena Hörkeby, who is a speech and language therapist in Stockholm, thanks Helena! Instructions and a printable template for this eye gaze frame is available in two different formats:

'''Guides'''

The Call Centre has prepared an excellent [http://www.callscotland.org.uk/common-assets/quick-guides/QG-1408113630.pdf Eye Pointing and using an Etran Frame] information sheet

'''Electronic communication board'''

[http://logantech.com/products/megabee MegaBee] is an electronic version of the see-through communication board. Using it, the assistant / communication partner does not need to remember the spelled letters but can simply click on the colors the user is looking at. The spelled letters will appear into the text field below the letter board.

Visiting Kati

2019-12-16T08:37:15Z

Curly: /* Books */

[[Image:kati_side.jpg|thumb|Kati demonstrating how to write an email by gaze interaction.]]

[[Image:laughter.jpg|thumb|Kati and Mick having fun when trying out eye control]]

In 1998 Kari saw an article in a Finnish public magazine ([http://www.suomenkuvalehti.fi/lehti/2006/sk-52006-aiheet/katse-kertoo-kaiken.aspx Suomen Kuvalehti 13/1998]) that deeply touched him. It was a heartbreaking story about a young, beautiful woman -- Kati -- who suffered from the locked-in syndrome caused by a brainstem stroke. She communicated by eye movements. Kari immediately thought about the eye tracking device that had been purchased a couple of years earlier for research purposes: could it be used to help Kati?

A couple of years later, when Päivi joined the gaze research group, Kari showed the article to Päivi saying: "If we could help even one like her, it would be worth it." Päivi was eager to meet the challenge, but it was decided that we would proceed cautiously, without making promises before we really could suggest a solution in which we had enough confidence ourselves.

The story was still in our minds when COGAIN started. In the very first "real" COGAIN office meeting in the end of August 2004 Kari went to his bookshelf and gave the article to Stina. Stina did some detective work, and a few weeks later the three of us were heading towards Mikkeli to meet Kati.

We were really excited to meet her. During the three hour drive we discussed what we should say and how we should act. The nervousness soon disappeared when Kati's parents sincerely welcomed us. Kati sat in her wheelchair and welcomed us with her smiling eyes. She looked strikingly beautiful. It was not hard to believe that she had acted as an international model before the stroke.

Kati discussed with us by moving her eyes. Her mother acted as a human eye tracker, interpreting the eye movements letter by letter. Kati has a see-through communication board made of plexiglass, but she and her mother haven't needed it for a long time. They have memorized the locations of the letters; each letter has its position in the air. It was fascinating to see how Kati's mother was able to correct mistakes in the letter interpretation, and how she guessed the end of the word or the sentence, sometimes after just one or two letters -- the best intelligent word prediction system we have ever seen!

Kati has enough head movement control to be able to use a head tracker. The system tracks a small sticker in her forehead. She not only writes email and browses the Internet, but she is also writing a book. It should come out in 2006.

Kati uses her computer a lot but it doesn't help her when she is on the move. She expressed a desire to have a portable system that could be used anywhere. She loves to travel, and it would really help in communicating with other people. Currently, she relies on her personal interpreter: her mother. It makes Kati sad that people are often scared of communicating with her, and using the plexi-board is not that easy either.

She had an environmental control system attached to her bed but she wanted it to be removed because it was so ugly. "If you spend a lot of time at home, you want beautiful things around you."

We brought the Tobii eye tracking device and a laptop with us. Despite some demo effects in the beginning, Kati was able to try out iKey and Dasher. She laughed aloud, especially when the Finnish male synthesizer spoke what she had typed. Her mother asked if it would be possible to use Kati's own voice from the old home videos as a basis for the spoken feedback. This is already on COGAIN's to-do list, and the visit convinced us of the importance of this line of research.

Meeting Kati was an event we will cherish. She totally charmed us with her wonderful sense of humour and positive attitude. She gave us a lot of motivation, ideas and insights that will definitely benefit COGAIN. We agreed to stay in contact.

== COGAIN 2005 ==

Kati visited the [[COGAIN 2005|COGAIN 2005 event]] in Copenhagen, tried out many systems and had a lot of fun with Mick and others.

Kati visited the Tampere team in May 2006 at the same time as the developers of [http://cyber.felk.cvut.cz/i4c/en_system.html i4Control] from CTU. The system could be used to remotely control a toy car: by looking up the toy car goes ahead, by looking left the car turns left, etc.

[[Image:kati-lepisto-book.jpg|thumb|Kati Lepistö & Leeni Peltonen, Silmänräpäys (Kati's book in Finnish, published by Otava, Finland). [http://www.google.fi/search?hl=fi&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&q=kati+lepist%C3%B6+silm%C3%A4nr%C3%A4p%C3%A4ys&meta=&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=] ]]

In early 2006, Kati released a book (in Finnish), called "Silmänräpäys" (Eng. "eye blink"), written by Kati Lepistö & Leeni Peltonen, published by [http://www.otava.fi Otava]. The book tells Kati's story. There is also a short section about Kati's involvement in COGAIN. The second author, journalist Leeni Peltonen, is the one who wrote the original article in Suomen Kuvalehti (13/1998) that touched us so deeply.

In 2019, Kati van der Hoeven (surname changed after Kati got married) released a book in English, called "Living Underwater: A true story of laughter, love, hope and happiness in the face of extreme adversity". The book is available via [https://www.amazon.com/Living-Underwater-laughter-happiness-adversity/dp/1911505637 Amazon.com]. COGAIN is briefly mentioned also in this new book.

More information about Kati and her life is available at '''[http://katilepisto.fi/en/ katilepisto.fi]'''. Check especially her [http://katilepisto.fi/en/blogi/ blog], which is available in several languages.

Eye Gaze Communication Board

'''Low-tech eye pointing, cheap (self-made) gaze communication board, "first aid" solution for acute communication needs'''

'''Gaze Communication Board''' or '''Eye Communication Frame''' is a cheap, fast, easy-to-use eye communication method. There are several options that can be bought from stores that sell communication aids and assistive technology, such as the "E-tran (eye transfer) frame" illustrated below.

The gaze communication board is a see-through frame with letters or pictures on it. The board is placed between two people who want to have a conversation using the board. The board can either be attached on a table or wheelchair, or if one of the conversation partners is able-bodied, s/he can hold the board in front of the disabled person.

The communication board or frame can be made either from transparent plexi-glass, or it can also be made from cardboard with a big hole in the middle. In either case, it is important that the person on the other side can easily see the eye movements of the other person.

The disabled person then looks at one of the letters and the other person interprets her/his gaze direction and speaks out the letter to confirm. After confirmation, the next letter is interpreted similarly: one person looks at the letter and the other acts as a human "eye tracker" and interprets which letter the other person is pointing. Just like a computer-based eye tracking system, also here feedback (speaking out the letter) is important to confirm the selection and to allow error correction in case of a misinterpretation.

In the E-Tran frame, the letter are grouped into corners of the frame. Each letter in a group has different color coding. To select a letter, the user first looks at the letter (group) and then the color "button" that matches the color of the letter. Having the letters in such groups reduces errors, though the 2-step selection is a bit slower than direct pointing. It is a bit hard to interpret gaze direction accurately if the targets are small and close to each other, but it is very easy to see which one of the corners of the frame the gaze is pointed at.

== Self-Made Eye Gaze Frames ==

It is possible to make an eye communication frame from a card board (see the picture above). Below are two different versions of the eye gaze frame, with instructions for making them and printable templates for both.

=== Eye gaze frame 1 ===

[[Image:eye-gaze-frame-template1.jpg|thumb|picture of the eye gaze frame template 1]]

The idea for this frame came from Anette Dinesen (Tønsberg, Norway), thanks Anette! Instructions and a printable template for this eye gaze frame is available in two different formats:

* To download a ZIP packet containing the frames in PowerPoint (ppt) format and the instructions in Microsoft Word (doc) format, [[File:DART-eye-gaze-frames-with-instructions.zip|click here]]

=== Eye gaze frame 2 ===

[[Image:eye-gaze-frame-template2.jpg|thumb|picture of the eye gaze frame template 2]]

This frame was made by Helena Hörkeby, who is a speech and language therapist in Stockholm, thanks Helena! Instructions and a printable template for this eye gaze frame is available in two different formats:

'''Guides'''

The Call Centre has prepared an excellent [http://www.callscotland.org.uk/common-assets/quick-guides/QG-1408113630.pdf Eye Pointing and using an Etran Frame] information sheet

'''Electronic communication board'''

[http://logantech.com/products/megabee MegaBee] is an electronic version of the see-through communication board. Using it, the assistant / communication partner does not need to remember the spelled letters but can simply click on the colors the user is looking at. The spelled letters will appear into the text field below the letter board.

Just like a computer-based eye tracking system, also here feedback (speaking out the letter) is important to confirm the selection and to allow error correction in case of a misinterpretation.

In the E-Tran frame, the letter are grouped into corners of the frame. Each letter in a group has different color coding. To select a letter, the user first looks at the letter (group) and then the color "button" that matches the color of the letter. Having the letters in such groups reduces errors, though the 2-step selection is a bit slower than direct pointing. It is a bit hard to interpret gaze direction accurately if the targets are small and close to each other, but it is very easy to see which one of the corners of the frame the gaze is pointed at.

== Self-Made Eye Gaze Frames ==

It is possible to make an eye communication frame from a card board (see the picture above). Below are two different versions of the eye gaze frame, with instructions for making them and printable templates for both.

'''Low-tech eye pointing, cheap (self-made) gaze communication board, "first aid" solution for acute communication needs'''

'''Gaze Communication Board''' or '''Eye Communication Frame''' is a cheap, fast, easy-to-use eye communication method. There are several options that can be bought from stores that sell communication aids and assistive technology, such as the "E-tran (eye transfer) frame" illustrated below.

The gaze communication board is a see-through frame with letters or pictures on it. The board is placed between two people who want to have a conversation using the board. The board can either be attached on a table or wheelchair, or if one of the conversation partners is able-bodied, s/he can hold the board in front of the disabled person.

The communication board or frame can be made either from transparent plexi-glass, or it can also be made from cardboard with a big hole in the middle. In either case, it is important that the person on the other side can easily see the eye movements of the other person.

The disabled person then looks at one of the letters and the other person interprets her/his gaze direction and speaks out the letter to confirm. After confirmation, the next letter is interpreted similarly: one person looks at the letter and the other acts as a human "eye tracker" and interprets which letter the other person is pointing. Just like a computer-based eye tracking system, also here feedback (speaking out the letter) is important to confirm the selection and to allow error correction in case of a misinterpretation.

== COGAIN FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions ==

=== 1. What is COGAIN? ===

'''COGAIN''' started as a european '''Network of Excellence''' on COmmunication by GAze INteraction. It is a network which joins people who share a common goal. The members in the network are researchers, eye tracker developers and people who work directly with users with disabilities in user centers and hospitals. We share a common goal: to do research, develop the technology and spread information about eye gaze control and communication. We want people to know that they can use their eyes to communicate and control a computer.

The COGAIN project started in September 2004 as an IST network of excellence supported by the European Commission's IST 6th framework program. The funded project ended in August 2009. However, COGAIN continues its work in the form of an association.

* About the work done in [[COGAIN_Workpackages|COGAIN project's work packages]].
* [http://www.cogain.org/association COGAIN Association]

* [[COGAIN Conference]]

=== 2. How can I join to become a member of COGAIN? ===

The best way to become a member of COGAIN is to join the COGAIN Association. More information is available at the web pages of the [http://www.cogain.org/association COGAIN Association].

It is no longer possible to join as a funded partner because the project is near its end (last funded year). The COGAIN Association will continue even after the funding from the European Commission ends. For individuals, the best way is to join the [http://www.cogain.org/association COGAIN Association]. Companies and user centres may also consider joining one of the COGAIN advisory boards: [http://www.cogain.org/boards Board of Industrial Advisors (BIA)] or [http://www.cogain.org/boards Board of User Communities (BUC)].

The best place to meet COGAIN members and learn more about the work COGAIN does, is to participate the annual [[COGAIN Conference]] 

=== 3. Where can I buy a COGAIN tracker? ===

'''There is no such thing as a COGAIN tracker.''' COGAIN is network (see above "What is COGAIN") that consist of people who share a common goal. COGAIN is not a system or a software, and COGAIN does not sell anything.

However, some of the members in the network are manufacturers who do sell their own trackers, for a list of eye control systems available for people with disabilities, see [[Eye Trackers| the catalogue of eye control systems targeted at people with disabilities]]

Members of COGAIN have also developed various applications that can be controlled by eye movements, for more information see [[COGAIN Applications]].

=== 4. What does "eye control", "gaze communication", "gaze interaction" mean? ===

Eye/gaze communication means that a person is using his or her eyes to communicate. All sighted people use eyes in their everyday communication. They look at a person they talk to or look at an object they interact with (e.g. look at a pencil before picking it up). Thus, eyes can be used to point at items. People who lack the control of muscle movement may still be able to move their eyes. In that case, eyes may well be their only means of communication. They interact and communicate by using their gaze.

Eyes can also be used to control a computer (thus "eye control" or "gaze control"). An eye tracking device tracks the persons eye movement and determines where on screen their gaze is targeted. Such "eye mouse" can then be used to control the mouse pointer on-screen (instead of hand mouse or head mouse). If the person is able to blink (wink) or press a separate button/switch, sip/puff or make a sound (voice command), then the target pointed by the "eye mouse" can be selected by using a separate switch. However, many people are not able to press a separate switch or cannot even blink, or such activity is very tiring for them. In such a case the selection of the pointed target can be done with a "dwell time", which means the user keeps the gaze on the target for a certain duration of time (e.g. 1-2 seconds), thus "dwelling on it" to select the item. More information about using the eye to emulate mouse and mouse button clicks is available in the [[COGAIN_Report_D3.2#2.3.5_Using_the_eye_to_emulate_mouse_button_control_features_.28e.g._clicking.2C_dragging.29|COGAIN Report D3.2: 2.3.5]].

'''Eye tracking vs. Eye movement or eye-blink switches:''' Eye-tracking is different from the eye-blink based system so that eye-tracking usually measures the direction of the user's gaze. With an eye-tracking based system, the user can directly point at the item by looking at it. Using an eye-blink switch system (without eye-tracking), the eye blink is used as a switch to select the item under focus. Usually the focus is moved from item to item using "scanning". In other words, the focused item is not selected by direct pointing (as with eye mouse) but the focus is moved from one item to another either automatically (automatic scanning) or by using a switch (user moves the focus from item to item). The user selects the focused item by eye blink (or wink). More information about scanning can be found in the [[COGAIN_Report_D3.2#3.2.2.4_Switch-access]]. Eye blinks can also be used alone, for example, one blink could mean 'yes' and two blinks 'no'. 

Please note that pointing by gaze is not as accurate as pointing with a conventional hand-mouse. More information about eye control, its potential and problems involved is available in the COGAIN reports and multimedia training resource at [[User Involvement|User Involvement web pages]]

=== 5. My child/relative has this disability, can eye control help? ===

For some people, eye control is a necessity and the only option, for example, people who are totally paralyzed and who can only control their eye movements. For other people, eye control can be an option that is faster and less tiring than the other options such as switches. The COGAIN Report on User Requirements (D3.1) gives an overview of who can benefit from eye control, and also who may not currently benefit from it (partly because of limitations in the technology), see [[COGAIN_Report_D3.1|User requirements report with observations of difficulties users are experiencing]].

See also the "Who can benefit and how" part of the COGAIN multimedia training resource on [[Eye Control Hints and Tips]].

=== 6. Which tracker is best for me/my child/my relative? ===

There are several different eye control systems available for purchase, for a list, see the [[Eye Trackers|Catalogue of eye control systems]].

When considering which system to get, it is always recommended to consult an expert to make an assessment and to carefully trial which tracker is the best for each individual. The needs of individual end-users differ a lot and so do the systems and their properties. There are certain key issues one may consider when trialling an eye control systems, for more information see the COGAIN [[COGAIN_Report_D3.2|D3.2 Report on features of the different systems and development needs]]

See also the parts on "Planning and carrying out an eye-control assessment" and related parts (ergonomic issues, available software, etc.) of the COGAIN multimedia training resource on [[Eye Control Hints and Tips]].

=== 7. The systems are too expensive, are there any cheaper budget options or alternatives to eye control? ===

The prices of the eye control systems vary depending on the tracker and its features, so it may be worth the while to ask for the price of several systems. Please note though that not all systems are suitable for everybody, so do not purchase any tracker before trying it out carefully!

This technology is still fairly new. We expect the prices to go down as it becomes more common. There are also [[Eye_Trackers#Open_source_gaze_tracking.2C_freeware_and_low_cost_eye_tracking|"low-cost" and "open source" systems]] being developed but none of them are yet stable and easy-to-use enough to be used by people with disabilities.

For people who have some control over muscle movement, there are potential alternative controlling methods available, for more information, see the COGAIN Report D3.1, Chapter 5: [[http://wiki.cogain.org/index.php/D3.1_User_requirements_report_with_observations_of_difficulties_users_are_experiencing#5_What_potential_alternatives_to_eye_control_are_there.3F|What potential alternatives to eye control are there?]]

See also:
* The COGAIN report D3.2, section 3.2.2 [[COGAIN Report D3.2|"What range of access methods is required to complement eye-control?"]]
* "Access Methods Explained" section on the SpecialEffect Gamebase at http://www.gameonbeta.org.uk/GameControl/ for an explanation of different computer control methods, see especially the section on "[http://www.gameonbeta.org.uk/GameControl/PointerOnly/pointercontroldevices.htm Pointer ONLY]".
* If the user retains some head control, head pointing or a "head mouse" may be an option, for more information, see http://abilitynet.wetpaint.com/page/Head+Tracking.

As a "first aid", you can use a manual eye communication board (also called "gaze communication frame"). It is a board with letters (or pictures) on it. One person (able-bodied) holds the board in front of the disabled person. The disabled person then looks at one of the letters (or pictures) on the board and the other person (who is holding the board) speaks out the letter to confirm that she interpreted the gaze direction correctly. Then the disabled person looks at the next letter and again the conversation partner speaks out that letter. This way a person can act as a human eye tracker who interprets the gaze direction. For more information, see [[Eye Gaze Communication Board]].

=== 8. I want to build my own eye tracker, can you help? ===

There are some good starting points (open source software and research reports) on the COGAIN web page on [[Eye_Trackers#Open_source_gaze_tracking.2C_freeware_and_low_cost_eye_tracking|Open source and low cost eye tracking]].

You may also want to have a look at the COGAIN WP5 "Eye tracker development" workpackage's reports, D5.2, D5.3, D5.3, D5.4, D5.5, see [[COGAIN Reports]]

Visiting Kati

2015-11-18T10:41:11Z

Curly: /* Book */

[[Image:kati_side.jpg|thumb|Kati demonstrating how to write an email by gaze interaction.]]

[[Image:laughter.jpg|thumb|Kati and Mick having fun when trying out eye control]]

In 1998 Kari saw an article in a Finnish public magazine ([http://www.suomenkuvalehti.fi/lehti/2006/sk-52006-aiheet/katse-kertoo-kaiken.aspx Suomen Kuvalehti 13/1998]) that deeply touched him. It was a heartbreaking story about a young, beautiful woman -- Kati -- who suffered from the locked-in syndrome caused by a brainstem stroke. She communicated by eye movements. Kari immediately thought about the eye tracking device that had been purchased a couple of years earlier for research purposes: could it be used to help Kati?

A couple of years later, when Päivi joined the gaze research group, Kari showed the article to Päivi saying: "If we could help even one like her, it would be worth it." Päivi was eager to meet the challenge, but it was decided that we would proceed cautiously, without making promises before we really could suggest a solution in which we had enough confidence ourselves.

The story was still in our minds when COGAIN started. In the very first "real" COGAIN office meeting in the end of August 2004 Kari went to his bookshelf and gave the article to Stina. Stina did some detective work, and a few weeks later the three of us were heading towards Mikkeli to meet Kati.

We were really excited to meet her. During the three hour drive we discussed what we should say and how we should act. The nervousness soon disappeared when Kati's parents sincerely welcomed us. Kati sat in her wheelchair and welcomed us with her smiling eyes. She looked strikingly beautiful. It was not hard to believe that she had acted as an international model before the stroke.

Kati discussed with us by moving her eyes. Her mother acted as a human eye tracker, interpreting the eye movements letter by letter. Kati has a see-through communication board made of plexiglass, but she and her mother haven't needed it for a long time. They have memorized the locations of the letters; each letter has its position in the air. It was fascinating to see how Kati's mother was able to correct mistakes in the letter interpretation, and how she guessed the end of the word or the sentence, sometimes after just one or two letters -- the best intelligent word prediction system we have ever seen!

Kati has enough head movement control to be able to use a head tracker. The system tracks a small sticker in her forehead. She not only writes email and browses the Internet, but she is also writing a book. It should come out in 2006.

Kati uses her computer a lot but it doesn't help her when she is on the move. She expressed a desire to have a portable system that could be used anywhere. She loves to travel, and it would really help in communicating with other people. Currently, she relies on her personal interpreter: her mother. It makes Kati sad that people are often scared of communicating with her, and using the plexi-board is not that easy either.

She had an environmental control system attached to her bed but she wanted it to be removed because it was so ugly. "If you spend a lot of time at home, you want beautiful things around you."

We brought the Tobii eye tracking device and a laptop with us. Despite some demo effects in the beginning, Kati was able to try out iKey and Dasher. She laughed aloud, especially when the Finnish male synthesizer spoke what she had typed.

[[Image:kati_side.jpg|thumb|Kati demonstrating how to write an email by gaze interaction.]]

[[Image:laughter.jpg|thumb|Kati and Mick having fun when trying out eye control]]

In 1998 Kari saw an article in a Finnish public magazine ([http://www.suomenkuvalehti.fi/lehti/2006/sk-52006-aiheet/katse-kertoo-kaiken.aspx Suomen Kuvalehti 13/1998]) that deeply touched him. It was a heartbreaking story about a young, beautiful woman -- Kati -- who suffered from the locked-in syndrome caused by a brainstem stroke. She communicated by eye movements. Kari immediately thought about the eye tracking device that had been purchased a couple of years earlier for research purposes: could it be used to help Kati?

A couple of years later, when Päivi joined the gaze research group, Kari showed the article to Päivi saying: "If we could help even one like her, it would be worth it." Päivi was eager to meet the challenge, but it was decided that we would proceed cautiously, without making promises before we really could suggest a solution in which we had enough confidence ourselves.

The story was still in our minds when COGAIN started. In the very first "real" COGAIN office meeting in the end of August 2004 Kari went to his bookshelf and gave the article to Stina. Stina did some detective work, and a few weeks later the three of us were heading towards Mikkeli to meet Kati.

We were really excited to meet her. During the three hour drive we discussed what we should say and how we should act. The nervousness soon disappeared when Kati's parents sincerely welcomed us. Kati sat in her wheelchair and welcomed us with her smiling eyes. She looked strikingly beautiful. It was not hard to believe that she had acted as an international model before the stroke.

Kati discussed with us by moving her eyes. Her mother acted as a human eye tracker, interpreting the eye movements letter by letter. Kati has a see-through communication board made of plexiglass, but she and her mother haven't needed it for a long time. They have memorized the locations of the letters; each letter has its position in the air. It was fascinating to see how Kati's mother was able to correct mistakes in the letter interpretation, and how she guessed the end of the word or the sentence, sometimes after just one or two letters -- the best intelligent word prediction system we have ever seen!

Kati has enough head movement control to be able to use a head tracker. The system tracks a small sticker in her forehead. She not only writes email and browses the Internet, but she is also writing a book. It should come out in 2006.

Kati uses her computer a lot but it doesn't help her when she is on the move. She expressed a desire to have a portable system that could be used anywhere. She loves to travel, and it would really help in communicating with other people. Currently, she relies on her personal interpreter: her mother. It makes Kati sad that people are often scared of communicating with her, and using the plexi-board is not that easy either.

She had an environmental control system attached to her bed but she wanted it to be removed because it was so ugly. "If you spend a lot of time at home, you want beautiful things around you."

We brought the Tobii eye tracking device and a laptop with us. Despite some demo effects in the beginning, Kati was able to try out iKey and Dasher. She laughed aloud, especially when the Finnish male synthesizer spoke what she had typed. Her mother asked if it would be possible to use Kati's own voice from the old home videos as a basis for the spoken feedback. This is already on COGAIN's to-do list, and the visit convinced us of the importance of this line of research.

Meeting Kati was an event we will cherish. She totally charmed us with her wonderful sense of humour and positive attitude. She gave us a lot of motivation, ideas and insights that will definitely benefit COGAIN. We agreed to stay in contact.
