Laval VRchive with Tobii Eye Tracker

Today I experimented "Laval VRchive with Tobii Eye Tracker" with professors and students in Tokyo Metropolitan University. This is an experiment to operate contents of the virtual world by the gaze. This was a very happy experiment though the operation of software was still unstable.



List of key assign:

• Gazing Upside : Up
• Gazing Downside : Down
• Gazing RightSide : Right Turn
• Gazing LeftSide : Left Turn
• Wink : Click

Moreover, to avoid malfunctioning, the mouse is set not to reach to a top and bottom of the screen edge. We will exhibit "Wiimote(Wii Remote) Version" and this movie in Laval Virtual.

Extra: with NG scene.



Professors:
Hidenori Watanave(me), Kumiko Kushiyama, Keiko Kasamatsu.
