in conjunction with ICPR 2020, the 25th International Conference on Pattern Recognition (https://www.micc.unifi.it/icpr2020/).


AIMS AND SCOPE

Eye tracking technology is becoming more and more widespread nowadays, also thanks to the recent availability of cheap commercial devices. At the same time, novel techniques are constantly pursued to improve the precision of gaze detection, and new ways to fully exploit the potential of eye data are continuously explored. Whatever the considered use context, be it Human-Computer Interaction, user behavior understanding, biometrics, or others, pattern recognition often plays a relevant role.

The purpose of the workshop is to present recent eye tracking research that, directly or indirectly, exploits any form of pattern recognition.The event’s scope includes (but is not limited to) the following topics:

• Gaze detection techniques and devices
• Gaze-based human-computer interaction (assistive technologies, hybrid interfaces, etc.)
• Eye tracking for usability inspection
• Eye tracking in VR/AR applications
• User behavior understanding from eye data
• Eye movement analysis for biometrics, security and privacy
• Eye tracking in medicine and health care
• Visualization of gaze data

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Submissions must be formatted in accordance with the Springer’s Computer Science Proceedings guidelines (https://www.springer.com/gp/computer-science/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines). Two types of contributions are possible:

• Full papers (12-15 pages, including references)
• Short papers (6-8 pages, including references)

Accepted manuscripts will be included in the ICPR 2020 Workshop Proceedings Springer volume. The submission platform will be available soon.

The 2021 ACM Symposium on Eye Tracking Research & Applications (ETRA) will be held in Stuttgart, Germany from May 25 to 29, 2021. The aim of ETRA is to bring together researchers and practitioners from across fields with the common goal of continuing to move eye tracking research forward. Join us in Stuttgart for ETRA, attend co-located workshops, and participate in exciting discussions.

The symposium presents advances and innovations in oculomotor research, gaze tracking systems, eye tracking applications, gaze-based interaction, and eye movement data analysis. We invite full and short papers in all areas of eye tracking research and applications, and welcome submissions from all domains, including visuomotor neuroscience, perception, and cognition.

Papers must be original and not accepted previously for publication elsewhere. All papers will be published and will be available in the ACM Digital Library. At least one author must register and present accepted work at the conference.

ACM ETRA 2021 is co-sponsored by the ACM Special Interest Group on Computer-Human Interaction (SIGCHI) and the ACM Special Interest Group on Computer Graphics and Interactive Techniques (SIGGRAPH).
