13th International Conference on Ubiquitous Computing (UbiComp 2011)

CALL FOR PAPERS
------------------------------------------------------------

Recent developments in mobile eye tracking equipment and automated eye
movement analysis point the way toward unobtrusive eye-based human-computer
interfaces that are pervasively usable in everyday life. We call this new
paradigm pervasive eye tracking - continuous eye monitoring and analysis 24/7.
The potential applications for the ability to track and analyse eye movements
anywhere and any time call for new research to further develop and understand
visual behaviour and eye-based interaction in daily life settings.

PETMEI 2011 will focus on pervasive eye tracking as a trailblazer for mobile
eye-based interaction and eye-based context-awareness. We provide a forum
for researchers from human-computer interaction, context-aware computing,
and eye tracking to discuss techniques and applications that go beyond
classical eye tracking and stationary eye-based interaction. We want to
stimulate and explore the creativity of these communities with respect to the
implications, key research challenges, and new applications for pervasive eye
tracking in ubiquitous computing. The long-term goal is to create a strong
interdisciplinary research community linking these fields together and to
establish the workshop as the premier forum for research on
pervasive eye tracking.
