Thus, it is unsurprising to witness a significant increase in its use as a research tool in fields beyond the traditional domains of biological vision, psychology, and neuroscience, in particular, in visualization and human-computer interaction research. One of the key challenges lies in the analysis, interaction, and visualization of complex spatio-temporal datasets of gaze behavior, which is further complicated by complementary datasets such as semantic labels, user interactions and/or accompanying physiological sensor recordings. Ultimately, the research objective is to allow eye tracking data to be effectively interpreted in terms of the observer’s decision-making and cognitive processes. To achieve this, it is necessary to draw upon our current understanding of gaze-behavior across various and related fields, from vision and cognition to visualization. All together eye tracking is an important field to be understood, be it in the sense of data analysis and visualization, interaction, or user-based evaluation of visualization. _______ TOPICS _______ Manuscripts are solicited on the following topics with an emphasis on the relationship between eye tracking and visualization, including but not limited to the following: - Visualization techniques for eye-movement data (inc. spatio-temporal visualization, evolution of gaze patterns, visual analysis of individual behavior, 2D vs. 3D representations of eye-movement data) - Visual analytics of gaze behavior (inc. visual data mining, aggregation, clustering techniques, and metrics for eye-movement data) - Eye-movement data provenance - Standardized metrics for evaluating gaze interactions with visualization - Cognitive models for gaze interactions with visualizations - Novel methods for eye tracking in challenging visualization scenarios - Uncertainty visualization of gaze data - Interactive annotation of gaze and stimulus data - Systems for the visual exploration of eye-movement data - Eye-tracking studies that evaluate visualization or visual analytics - Eye tracking in non-WIMP visualization environments, including mobile eye tracking, mobile devices, and large displays - Visualization of eye-tracking data in mixed and virtual reality (3df & 6df, 360°) - Visualization applications that rely on eye tracking as an input parameter ____________ SUBMISSIONS ____________ Authors are invited to submit original work complying with the ETRA SHORT PAPER format (up to 4 pages + references). Papers should be submitted electronically in PDF format to ETVIS through the ETRA submission system: https://new.precisionconference.com/user/login?society=etra Also ensure that the Author Guidelines (https://www.siggraph.org//learn/instructions-authors for SIG sponsored events [sigconf]) are met prior to submission. ________ ORGANIZERS ________ ● Kuno Kurzhals, ETH Zurich, kunok[at]ethz.ch ● Sophie Stellmach, Microsoft Research, sostel[at]microsoft.com ● Vsevolod Peysakhovich, ISAE-SUPAERO, vsevolod.peysakhovich[at]isae-supaero.fr

CfP: ET-MM: Workshop on Eye Tracking for Quality of Experience in Multimedia
ET-MM: Workshop on Eye Tracking for Quality of Experience in Multimedia June 2, 2020, University of Stuttgart, Germany co-located with ETRA 2020 URL: http://www.mmsp.uni-konstanz.de/et-mm/ Multimedia applications often strive to deliver high perceptual quality to their users. Fundamentally, the perceptual quality of multimedia is the fidelity of multimedia that supports the users in their task objectives. This can vary immensely across individuals and tasks. Nonetheless, there are physiological constraints to human vision and eye tracking provides unprecedented insight into how users seek out and process visual information. This is particularly relevant, but not limited to, visual media such as images and videos. Thus, eye tracking provides a tool to design and evaluate multimedia in a way that accommodates user perception and, hence, improve the use experience. In fact, eye trackers are increasingly integrated into mobile computing systems, from laptops to smartphones to smart TVs. Thus, we expect eye tracking to deepen our understanding of how humans perceive and interact with existing multimedia systems, which could lead to innovative multimedia applications that adapt to their users' gaze. This workshop explores how eye tracking can help to quantify and analyze perceptual aspects of visual multimedia, such as saliency and quality. ET-MM focuses more on data-driven algorithms and technology, including gaze based interfaces for control of multimedia applications. We seek contributions on, but not limited to, the following topics: * Eye tracking for visual quality and aesthetics prediction. * Eye tracking for image and video saliency. * Multimedia datasets which include eye tracking information. * Impact of quality degradations on gaze paths. * Eye tracking based perceptual image/video coding. * Eye movement in multimedia learning. * Gaze based interfaces and application control. * Eye tracking to assess reliability in user studies. * Multi-user interaction (but not for games) Important Dates * March 06, 2020 Paper submission deadline. * March 19, 2020 Notification of acceptance. * April 02, 2020 Camera-ready deadline.

The COGAIN Symposium focuses on all those aspects of gaze interaction which have a clear connection with eye-controlled assistive technology. Thanks to its strong identity, the symposium will be the right venue to present advances in these areas, leading to new capabilities in gaze interaction, gaze enhanced applications, gaze contingent devices, etc. Unless the main focus is on assistive technology, the authors must clearly state how the paper advances or is linked with eye-controlled assistive technology. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following subjects:
* Eye-typing
* Gaze-contingent devices
* Gaze-enhanced games
* Gaze-controlled robots and vehicles
* Gaze interaction with mobile devices
* Gaze-controlled smart-home devices
